Nice job she sounds sweet!

[@Jason1Pa]

I enjoyed the video! That oil was something else!!

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks my friend!

[@richardowens9170]

Another fun old tractor adventure! Thanks for taking us along.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

My pleasure!

[@WaynesAdventure]

Nice 👍

[@billbraxton189]

Great job It’s fun to see old tractors run again

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewmurton8379]

Very glad you’ve got it sorted, boy did it need an oil change! that’s one heck of a big tractor for such a small two cylinder engine!

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Yes it did. That oil was nasty!

[@vernonearl]

Those engines aren't really that small. They have a 4 1/2 inch bore with a very long stroke. They're close to 200 c.i.

[@dirtbag7921]

Looking forward to the generator rebuild.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Generator or paperweight? We will find out.

My 39 B runs 185 in the summer, in cooler weather in have to close the shutters to keep up the temp, I never put a load on it, looks like you have a nice tractor

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

I guess they just tend to run cool. Thanks!

[@georgemacdonald4528]

Those old dinosaurs draining out of the engine looked like they've been in that pan since the Eisenhower administration. Nice job it runs pretty sweet.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Ha ha! Thanks!

[@316jd140]

She sounds good, except the small screeching sound. It looks like you will address that eventually. That B definitely needed some TLC since it looks like it's been neglected for some time. I love those old Johnny Poppers and wish I had an old B, even an H.

If you are idling much, set the brakes and engage the clutch. There’s a bearing inside the clutch that is not being used when the clutch is engaged.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Very good. Thank you.

[@LyleBrand]

you need to replace the bushings in the generatot maybe just a little oil

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Ok thank you.

[@B_richards9220]

There is probably a good chance that if you take the tin cover off the generator and lube the brush holders and also oil the front and rear bushings under the 2 spring loaded caps on the front and back your generator will most likely stop squeaking.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks!

Trick I use to do fill with diesel start run for like 30 seconds drain oil/diesel repeat until clean then fill with oil

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Yes, that works well!

[@DanielMeyer-ls5ph]

Then run about 1 quart of marvels mystery oil and 6 1/2 quarts of oil. That will, possibly, free up the rings

[@jeffpearson5581]

Just curious, what did the rebuilt carburetor cost if you don't mind me asking? Great video.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks. Roughly $330 after the core exchange.

[@DanielMeyer-ls5ph]

That’s cheap, some sources are about $600- $960.
