Start a tear down tomorrow

[Richard G.]

80 year old friend has his Dad's JD L.
We took the engine out today and I brought it to my shop.
Will take it apart to see what it needs.
Was smoking pretty bad.
He has a 42 LA that runs perfect.

I was always told smoking was a nasty habit......

 

[Richard G.]

Easy to break the habit if you are a 2 cylinder.

When you get it apart I have some parts for those L motors. I may have something you may need. I am getting ride of more of the collection. Shot me an email as I do not check YT everyday, heck sometimes not for a week or so.

Richard, if I remember right they had a 2 engine choice in the L.....Hercules or JD.

 

[Gene Davis (Ga.)]

Was't exactly an offered choice. Early L's had a Deere designed Hercules built engine and later ones used the Deere built engine.
