John Deere Model R Video Series

[fixer2u]

Hey Guys,
Over the last several months I have made 9 videos of doing various things on my model R. I decided to record what I did simply because I have not been able to find anyone who has recorded much while working on model R's. As I created each video, I posted it on the tractor talk section, but I thought I would post the entire list here in the JD section so guys have one source of information to pick through the list. These are not perfect by any means as I have made mistakes along the way, but hopefully there is enough here to help others out that need to do work on their model R. Please see the links with descriptions below.

Awesome job and awesome idea fixer4u. You're right, not much is said on the R at all. I've never owned one, but always thought I might
someday, and vids like yours would help tremendously. Especially pony motor vids. Thanks.
