Even coming from a museum it's nice to see an old piece of iron back out there, parades or not, it's not going to the scrap yard. That makes me very happy to see. It's ok to get a nice easy clean 'er up kinda job she looks like she was well preserved before being stored all those years.. oil fuel and water change and she's just ready to get back on the farm! Thank so much, as always, for the great video!!
Awesome piece of history. Thanks for bringing me along and giving me a pretty good history lesson. Chad, no matter how long your videos are, I sit down and they go by quick. That indicates to me just how well you share the story. Unlike most that show every detail, you always use the "let me get this done and get back with you" saying. It feels like we get way more from the show. You're doing a great job and I look forward to your show every week. Keep up the great work. I appreciate it!
especially when the new stuff keeps shutting itself down because a butterfly farted on the fender and the computer freaked out while the old stuff will still run and work despite having suffered a catastrophic failure that should render it dead in the water...
There was no doubt you would get it running. You can get half a car running and driving out of the woods, a museum piece would be no bother for you. :) Great work.
You are a Blessed Man to have had the opportunity to work on such a Classic Museum Piece and well deserving and certainly Worthy. Your general knowledge of every Damned thing, you never cease to amaze me. That was an absolutely Beautiful Ride on that Awesome Piece of History, I appreciate so much you having us along, we all know the amount of additional work it puts on every job filmed, I’ll catch you on the next one. Keep It Safe Out There Sir
I can't believe that you don't have any thinner bladed flat screwdrivers! Thanks for another wonderful upload! I have been going stir crazy waiting for today! 💙👨🏻🌾💙
The clutch just needed tightened up a little. Its important to get the castle nuts as equal as possible. A inch pound torque wrench is best. Theres also another clutch disk behind the clutch driver. Just letting you know because you said youd never been in the clutch on one before lol.
What a neat old JD. Good job getting it to run again. Apparently you did not loose that small ball bearing. I think you should adopt Miss Daisy and have more of her in your videos. Can't wait till the next one. Hopefully will be of your barn.
Whoever did the paint job did a really good job on the repaint looks factory new. Like you I love the sound the old Johnny poppers made especially under a load thanks for sharing
Where you getting the gastiline?? That's harder to come by than regular old GASOLINE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOME!! ALSO NEED SOME EARL TOO! That wah-tah is hard to find too! I seen AUNTIE-FLEAS LAST WEEK
Hi Chad. Texasman here. You do a great job on ur video's. You ask a while back if you should change anything about what you show on ur show. Nope, don't change anything. Ur show is perfect the way it is. Give texasman and the rest of us an update on ur shop. Can't wait to see that video and see you actually working in the shop. I am really wondering what will be ur first job in the new shop. I am betting a truck of some kind. Let's see if I'm right. Thanks
That ole JD chugging down the leaf covered road looked and sounded pretty awesome! 🤠 You know what the plow said to the tractor? Pull me closer John Deere. 🤣🤣 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Awesome tractor. I wish my 1942 John Deere LI was that nice. Years ago I had a 1941 Farmall H that had the all-fuel option. I ran it on kerosene and I needed to run it at the boiling point to run correctly. The darn thing It sounded like my propane heater running, but the main problem was that today's plugs just couldn't handle the kerosene and would constantly go bad. Was a very interesting experience.
Can't wait for you to get your shop all put together!....all of us that' has worked in the dirt and weeds and cold rain salute You ! People who never have..never will..
I think that you let slip the garage is a going up.... congrats to you if so. Tractors were dumb simple back when but boy howdy the different pieces were made to wear out fairly fast as when you went down the road, you could hear the different gears talking to each other. Once warmed up, they could roll a mountain over pert near. That tractor didn't seem to have a death wobble... thats right nice if I say so. I remember working on one for the first time.... probably eleven or twelve maybe. I did most of it right.... key word was most as the clutch hung up and I put it into the garage right off the get go. I had hot wired it past the key so I could run it as dad didn't want me on it. So being that everything runs best with a tune up, dad just that and tuned me right up. Then he showed me how to do different things with it, and where the key was... I still had to fix the wall on the garage. I am thinking that everyone got lucky on this tractor as most were just paint and polish, they never ran as they figured being parked didn't need to run. My favorite was the Minneapolis Moline as they would run on pee in the tank to get that last hundred feet to the shop/lol. I think you know how I figured that out. I did find out that a Magneto had the very best spark in the world, nie to killed me tho.
The rear axle has a gear reduction to raise the tractor higher off the ground. Pretty cool 😎 Someone should have drained the fuel before taking it to the museum 🙄. Great knowledge and video, Sir.
you did it Chad I knew you could you make anything that's old run like new again you do a great job working on them old Motors and engines. I really love the way that old John Deere was popping when you started up that slight Hill something about
All jokes aside, and kidding, ANOTHER GREAT JOB AT GETTINER GOING! AND ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO SIR!! KEEP THE ROLLING! The toggles are usually worn on those clutches,,the ones in the little h jd I had , we're completely shot when I rebuilt it back in late 80s so I replaced them.it worked good after that. That's a good looking old putt putt! Shame it sat in a museum all those years!! Glad it's up and rolling again!!
Excellent video Chad :) myself grew up on farm my late Uncle , late dad there oldest tractor had on home farm was 1950 Cockshutt COOP 40 was 6 volt positive ground electric start with key ignition switch, generator charging with Buda 6 cylinder motor 235 Cubic Inches size 43 hp with 60 torque and was gasoline model plus 1963 to 1978 McCormick (International) tractors all Desiel fuel and 1968 McCormick International 105C combine gas with 1945 Farmall H basic gas motor row crop that was turn 12 volt Negative ground ! The 1963 McCormick International B414 with loader trip bucket plus Hay or Straw bales fork and 1978 International 724 B was loader with all hydraulic on arm to bucket! Were lots fun also learn all tractor plus combine plus had some John Deere machinery to implements use and when farm sold 1997 all tractors also except Cockshutt was sold in 1993 and combine and machinery went to ! But work on back then and still to for family bought all it in 1997 ! But when younger from 1976 to 1992 in my Childhood years my one Neighborhood neighbor farmer had John Deere tractor loader tractor gas was in 1950's made but had inline 2 cylinder motor and hear when had nice Chitty Bang Pop called John Pops so cool to!
I ran the same model farming harrowing fields picking rocks too!! The sound of the engine pulling brought back memories. Thanks for the vidioes keep up the good work!!
Absolutely love that old tractor and I'm glad you helped preserve it.. If it wasn't for the past in machinery we would not have our future now thank you for sharing
This brought back some memories of my early days apprenticing at the Chev/Olds Dealership that I worked at. Our shop was slow, but our body shop was busy. I was sent over to tune up, and work on a 1948 John Deere D. I sandblasted that ole girl, which was being restored for the centennial parade and after it was painted, I buffed and polished her up. Of course the dealership owner took all of the credit, but I was prouder than punch to see it in the parade...!! Cheers
It's been about 50 years since I had the honor of driving one of those I was raised farming and that was one of our go to tractors Thank you sir for the trip down memory lane Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing your next video
Thanks for sharing Chad, those first machines are really special. That scenery is something special too green tractor and gold leaves. Central California watching.
lol i love that you literally never use an 8 point socket despite wrenching on square nuts all the time. i'm guessing you are just used to fitting a nut rounder on there and not rounding nuts. i love using the 8 point though because its so easy. i also like messing with people in my shop by handing them the 8 point set and seeing how long it takes to realize it will never fit on a hex nut no matter how they turn it lol
Didn't gallion make a crane? Or road grader at one point? I believe it was maybe a pavement roller?? I DON'T KNOW!! By the way,, there's NOTHING WORSE THAN A "BURPING" DEERE! HOW DID IT SMELL?? LIKE AUNTY FEEZE!????
Plywood or maybe some knee Pads, I wear them all the time when I'm crawling around on that grovey rock infested drive way, Dig your content and Thumbs Up Dude..... I'm 63 and still find myself on the ground for one reason or another, again Thumbs Up.....
Nice looking tractor. If it is ever worked hard (unlikely) of drove in really hot weather it is best not to use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze in a thermosyphon system. Plain water cools best but a little antifreeze is good for rust protection.
That's a very expensive old deere that you're working on. They sell in the $10,000-15,000 range in the midwest. There's one for sale not too far from me and they're asking $13,000. It doesn’t looked nearly as nice as that one.
That's a beautifully restored John Deere. It was good to learn how it all operates and what the important points to lubricate are. Did some good work cuz the old girl sounds great 👍✌️🇺🇲
Nice work, great old tractor, he’s a lucky man. It just shows you how much ceases or plugs up when there just sitting and not run. 👍 what a beautiful part of the world you live in.
Hey Chad. Get you some metal get-tar strangs. They work great for cleaning out those tiny holes! Then that gas-ka-leen will flow like a river through your car-bur-roster!
Well hallo there my good man i think u must employ miss Daisy as your permanent "shotgun" when ever u go parts hunting in the forest she can escort u relaxcing on the drinkers side .I think she will mix well into your videos .Goodstuff keep up your excellent work lots of love from SA
It reminded me of the late summer, early autumn, in the 50s, when the picking season started. There were a ton of apple orchards, and it was a common sight to see John Deere, Massey Fergison, Ford, Cockshut, and many other orchard tractors, pulling trailers, loaded with apples, to get processed at the packers. I picked apples but was a city boy, so I always thought the John Deere tractors sounded anaemic compared to the other tractors, but the loads were the same.
One more comment, they are a showing up at farm auctions alright but really thought more would show as they were more than just a field machine... wagon full of kids and wives riding to church
You ain't lying! Love the sound of those old johnny poppers. Gas or diesel, they sound great, and the harder you work 'em the better they sound. I'd almost say fuck the parades lash that thing to a few bottoms and let it eat!
But I don't believe I'm not running 49 Mercury on the what do you still get I believe it diversion of what you're talking about they're used to run it in the 4th and a 1/2 hour pretty but you had to fill it up with himself
Looks like that was a case of being put together solely to look pretty as a display piece vs an actual working tractor. Nice job bringing it back around.
