John Deere A Revival

[fixer2u]

For those of you interested, I bought a 1951 John Deere Model A that had been sitting for 30 years. I filmed the process of me going through it and trying to get it to run and drive. It was quite the process because alot of it had been tinkered with by previous owners.

If you are interested in that type of thing, have a look!

Thanks!

Interesting video.. Could that steel in the timing gears have been a ball from the governor bearing?

Thank you! It is possible that is what it was. It was pretty mangled but I am pretty sure it was a gear tooth. It is possible a ball landed in the teeth then chipped a tooth that then got stuck in the other teeth.
