Greetings from Harrison. I have the 49 B that was bought for the farm new. I t runs pretty well but the transmission needs a lot of work just plum wore out, can't even imagine how many hours are on it. I know you skip a bit of stuff you do but don't be afraid to show more of what goes into the process of the build it is very interesting to me, if it is to me it is also interesting to many people too. I have watched most all of your videos. Me and lady friend stopped in to your place she wanted to buy some plants and you in short order let your wife show her the plants she wanted and took me out to the shop. That day you had the jeep on blocks I think working on the gas tank. Thanks so much it was a great visit.

😊😊 that peace ✌️ 😊 U are talking about is the power lift 4 the John deere tractors 🚜 😊 they lift the implants up and down plows or disk 😊😊 OMG 1 18 2O25

Helped a fellow retrieve a pair of B’s his dad had owned after he had passed.. Had so much water in both rears that they were froze tight and wouldn’t move. We built a small fire under them both to free them up so we could get them on the trailer.

Your videos are good for my demeanor lol

Tim, If Bob Ross rebuilt old John Deere tractors 🫵🏻 😊 😂

I guess I need to look at my flywheel 👍👍

Do those rims on the B, have the locking flanged built into the rim? I believe this is how my 41 A’s wheels are mounted to the axle. On the left side of the tractor the flanges are all cracked and the previous owner has one weld it back together. However it is broken again. I have avoid pulling anything heavy with it. If the flanges are pare of the wheel, how hard are these to find ?

I grew up in Waterville and I smile hearing you say Fahmah and heah!

I'll bet your right about the #45 on the engine ,they was probably balanced together at the factory .

The end of the cotter pin appeared to fly clear. By the way showing how to install a cotter pin is valuable as the instructions are hard to see.

😮😮 I don't think 🤔 😮 much of those old cork gasket they aren't much and they leak U should use copper coat gasket sealer on both sides of those gaskets 😊😊 OMG 1 17 2O25

👍👍

Great work. Thanks for the videos as always.

I knew 'as tight as you can get it' being called 'farmer tight' 😁

That transmission oil is expensive. I had sticker shock when I refilled my Super M. It was around $300. 🙄 A lot of times, that left side brake is used more during plowing, to help steer the tractor in the plow furrow. Good stuff! You’re treating the old girl right!

Makes perfect sense to put a grease fitting on the cover, a lot easier to maintain!

Now I should check that bearing on mine

Yeah i need to take that cover off mine and shoot some grease in there👍👍

Like the grease/oil/honey used for the steering. I saw what type of grease, but didn’t the oil that you mixed with it. What brand was it ? I also know you didn’t use honey, it was brownish and thick. Lubing up the steering is something else I plan to do in the spring. I live in Michigan and its too cold to work on these old gals in the winter.

Good video. Looking forward to the next.😊

Great idea with the grease, never would have thought of that. I think I learn something new with every video! Sounds like it runs great!

Great job. ! I had a 44 John Deere A that I absolutely ruined trying to put fan clutch in . That was 35 yrs ago before these videos . putting that old gas tank in fire was the first for me . came out great .

Thank you sir. I’ve been looking at weather station models from recommended manufacturers and it does seem that the Davis Vantage Pro 2 is worth the money you’re spending to get it. Unfortunately Davis doesn’t deal directly with customers in the EU (I’m 7000km from Maine) but through appointed agents so I’m now looking at which of these are reliable! Thanks for posting.

I've used EP 0 grease in the past in lightnin' mixer gear boxes. It's about as liquid as what you mixed.

Nice to hear her runnin! Another engine rebuild in the books.

Sounds Great man good work!👍🏻

It’s amazing what you can build from a pile of tin and a box of bolts 😊

Not enough hours in the day! I had to chuckle about your trip to Bridgton for four nuts...I usually have to go to the hardware store about 5 times for every plumbing project I tackle 🤣

nice job of filming...there was a moment where I thought I heard a little Swedish girl screaming "how dare you" lol👍

Making great progress. I miss my 1950 model B. I keep watching marketplace to see if it pops up somewhere. Stay warm!

Coming along nice, almost there.👍🏻

Do you know what the #45 is on the flywheel for ? (near the timing mark ) .

Is the timing set exactly the same for a 41 John Deere Model A? I am sending my mag in for rebuild in the next couple of weeks, that way I have it back for spring in Michigan.

You can really time those old two cyl.

Was he drunk working this field?! He was all over the place and not one straight line.

That has to be the nicest center stem on a john deere b i have ever seen, usually those threads are gone😂😂😂👍👍

Great video!

Some good progress Tim, you're gonna have a new tractor when you're done!

Awesome 😎 Explain that converter in detail sometime.. I’ve got the same mill but don’t have the money for a converter.. I think I could do something like what you got there.. I like it, might get me up n running. I appreciate ya. Nice work on the carb by the way.

😊😊 it's better 2 drain the old oil out when the engine is hot that will most of that mess out who ever had that tractor 🚜 be 4 never did flush the crankcase out 😮😮 OMG 1 4 2O25

😊😊 theres another trick 2 hold the keepers in place while U put them on U use a bit of grease on them 😊😊 OMG 1 3 2O25

😊😊 U should make sure that cylinder head gas good vavle guides in it if 😮😮 not it will pull oil past them and make the engine smoke 😮😮 it will look like the piston rings are bad and making it smoke OMG 1 3 2O25

😊😊 U should've took that old set of sparkplugs and cleaned and tried it sand paper won't do U have use a small flat file 2 clean them get the carbon off 😊😊 it makes the spark weak 😮😮 the gas 2 day is no good no more corn wasn't meant 2 run engines it has alit of water in it it has 2 made another way the engine and the pistons have 2 be cast iron it's alit higher octane it wouldn't hurt those engines the 1S of 2 day they wouldn't last when they get hot they won't make a good soda can 😮😮 OMG 1 3 2O25

I could listen to you tell stories all day, my friend! This video was exactly what i needed for todays project on the 74 cj5, thank you sir!

👍👍

Yes... the Jonny Popper sounds good. Thanks for the video. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your farming life.

never get used to that sound

Sounds great. Might contact you in the spring to help get my 1941 JD A, running. Just got the carb rebuilt last fall, and I couldn’t get it running. Replaced the coil in the mag to get spark. I also cleaned the points up. Going to replace points in the spring just in case.

The B sounds good!

The B is coming along good looking for to the day I do my B probably sooner would be better though
