what year was the fair? i might have been there! haha I'd love to do this, i love tractors in general. But the old ones have always been my favorite! Are y'all local?
I sure thought it was gonna blow the pistons clean out of it when it got to smoking so bad! Nice job on the build, and next time, only put half the amount of oil in the air cleaner that it calls for. My wife's JD A and B will both full pull, and so will my Farmall H and Super M. I know, a house divided and all that ... but we have fun just trying to beat each other!
I'm very suprised the front didn't come off the ground untill the last My family has a 1948 JD A it never pulled the sled that good it always LOST POWER and died with the front end on the ground. Why is that A burning so much oil
(I'm very suprised the front end didn't come off the ground when he engaged the hand clutch like they all do at the pulls at an idle.) My family has a 1948 A we used on the farm and i do have to say it runs good. LOL! we have a set of hub mount buals for it as a funny but when we pulled the sled it only pulled it haif way down AND LOST POWER compared to the other A at the pull. Why is this A burning so much oil.
hi folks the tractor in this vid is eather a 48 or 50 john deere A I have a john deere 1948 A and pull it also this guy has to adjust the load jet on the carb and she might not smoke that bad, cool pull
the stack behind the one in the front is the intake the one in the front is the exaughst, i should know i have a tractor with the same set up, its a 1941 john deere b
nice pull man but id say you definitly need to turn down the load needle. it'll have more power if it isn't drownding itself in fuel lol i have a '51 JD A i pull with. now u need a 4 in. straight pipe to add some bark :)
Nice pull. My wife's uncle died fooling around on one of these when he was nineteen. The tractor rolled on him and crushed him. I hate new John Deeres but these old girls were good tractors.
actually I didn't do any restoration, she's how I bought her. sorry? she was made to work and still does well 56 years later. let's see if today's machines do as well 56 years from now. :-) thanks for the comment
yep. i've tried tire pressure as low as 10 pounds. only other thing would be to go to wider tires, but they wouldn't look quite right. and i'd like to leave it looking as original as possible. so i have to live with it.
LOL, yeah I'd say a bad case of indigestion. I thought she was gonna blow. John Deere's the best tractor out there. I love the old one's and the 2 cylinder sound.
What year is your A John Deere? My dad's got a 1952 late model A. He's never shown it, it needs a new paint job. All he used it for was to bush-hog with, and did a little plowing with it.
they were mad e to run on kerosene......and why did you have enough oil in the cleaner to make it smoke that much.....you only need it damp....not soaking....
Nice pull, nice tractor! I love those old 2 cylinders. My grandpa drove one when he was in college and he's got numerous stories about how they just NEVER stop chugging!
2 months later I ran into someone who was at the pull and asked them if they remembered the old A that thought she was a pro-stock, and they said yes :-)
no, those aren't cut tires. I do drive on the road a little with the weights on. I have an additional set on there now for pulling this year and some plowing nearby.
I keep it in a neighbor's barn during the winter. During the summer I keep her under a tarp. Haven't gotten around to putting an addition to my garage yet. But I will probably have to since I just restored a John Deere 2 bottom plow. Thanks for the comment.
I always thought these tractors with the wheels in the middle are only in the cartoons. But now i know that there are these tractors in the reality, too. ;-)
i love any old tractor, farmall, deeres, olivers, all, respect anything u have to restore!!!!!!!!!!!

Looked like you solved an overly rich condition about half way through the pull. How did you do that?

the problem is that it took a big chug of oil from the air cleaner so it was burning oil.

they were mad e to run on kerosene......and why did you have enough oil in the cleaner to make it smoke that much.....you only need it damp....not soaking....
