[@lesjensen1288]

First off I want to say that I can't thank these guys enough for doing this for me. We blew the head gasket 5 years ago pulling, it got drained and put in the barn, time slipped away from me due to my father's health. But after my father passed I made this a priority to get done as I wanted to honor him on his last ride. And yes this tractor is it's full work clothes as my father had always said to anyone that gave him grief about the way his tractors looked (paint don't make them run). I what to thank Brandon, Dale, and Alex again this means so much more to me than you could imagine! With that being said rest easy pop's I'll keep your tradition of the ole 2 cylinders and pulling going as long as I'm able to.

[@roycepruett5862]

John Deere "G", My favorite tractor of all time, Thanks for sharing your video.

[@peteschiavoni]

Les sorry to hear about your dad. I think it’s awesome what you did here Brandon. Great job!!!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing

[@NebukedNezzer]

I love this model G. as a kid in the 60s I drove one a lot. what a pleasant tractor to operate.

[@dockey6942]

You done real good I was doing the same thing yesterday on a620

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Thank you!

[@PaulCTownsend]

Just got done getting a 1950 John Deere A twin cylinder going. Rebuilt the carb with the major kit plus float. We got it going the magneto is capable of about a 1/16 inch spark gap so it's a little tough to get going.

[@johnnyholland8765]

On thing I like about those tractors is their simplicity. They are so easy to work on. I completely rebuilt a 39 B including engine trans and rear end. Mind you I don't see myself as a mechanic but I have farmed all my life and worked on equipment so I have a reasonably good mechanical ability and with videos like this one and many others I did it and she runs good (so far). I am currently working on sheet metal and need some rear rims. I have the flat spoke rims but the rims are rusted completly out so I don't know what I will do. I can get new rims and have the centers re mounted but very costly. By the way those studs are tapered in the thread as to seal the block as you tighten them. A little sealant never hurts though...

[@tractorjunkco9431]

Yes and no. They are easy to work on but they need alot of maintenance around the clutch. The manual says you have to pull apart the clutch every 2 years to lube the bearing inside, and that bearing is a pain to get to. My B also had a cracked flywheel so I had to find another good used one.

[@PaulCTownsend]

Good job that was fun.

[@MartinP1214]

I learn something useful in every one of your videos, thanks!

[@judythymian3469]

Love the old John Deeres! I had a JD 60

[@theda850two]

Im more of a red fan, but,, I've always admired the G JD.

[@williammatzek4660]

Dad farmed with a g in the 50s. He really liked it.

[@gijoecowboy]

Again Outstanding Job Guys. I know the family will be really happy.

[@buroakridgehomestead5995]

Looking forward to seeing what it puts out on the dyno!

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I'm looking forward to the dyno results. That was a really great thing for you to do.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

Fine job fellas, thanks for showing us!!

[@chadsteininger8436]

Definitely good to hear that G running. ❤️ It was definitely a beast at the pulls.

[@johndeere1951a]

Valve adjustment !! Disappointed in New Hampshire. 1951 JD-A

[@lawrencedembowski8109]

You did one great job, and a good friend. 👍

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

My Dad ran a G for 10 years pulling a 3-16s Oliver trail plow. His neighbors with Farmalls said it would never pull that plow. LOL

[@anderleof]

Love the JD Gs! That one sounds like a beast!

[@AnglesideFarm]

Sounds good, great job!

[@leoashrae4199]

The thickness of new head gaskets for those old tractors seem to vary quite a bit. Just comparing the head gasket in the new set I just got from Steiner for my 1950 John Deere A and another new-old-stock gasket (still in the Hastings cardboard sleeve), they differ in thickness by .008". If yours differed that much, that means your valves are off that much from what they were. I thinks I'd check those valve clearances.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Brandon :) and got John Deere G fix up like new again also Starter be nice video to show how fix them and put together!

[@LouisGodena]

Another great video!

[@reggie_tom1233]

Great job

[@marchindy]

You did a good thing sir.

[@rongrace479]

Sounds good good job

[@huntingandstuff9489]

As far as I'm concerned those gs are the best sounding tractors there are

[@frankdeegan8974]

To give the G some run in time hook the beast to the disk you pulled with the 620 that will make it bark, the G has almost 35 h. p. over the 620, let's hear it talk.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Great videos for all the right reasons. 😊 Brandon do you have any specific info on that Milwaukee pipe wrench? I’m looking at the HD website and there’s too many choices. You were raving about it and it’s a wrench I could definitely use but you didn’t even give me a good look at it lol

[@dirtgrainsteel]

It's the one that's like $54 do this day I still love that pipe wrench I use it all the time

[@artillerest43rdva7]

neat john deere G what year was it made? great job bringing it back!

[@eugenetaylor3938]

Yea I seen that awesome

[@mikevaske8255]

Why are you not checking valve settings, every time you take it down, valve clearance should checking/adjusted.

[@richardwilkens4577]

I have a 1950 G with a M&W power block installed in it

[@tractordan933]

Why no valve adjustment, please explain.

[@dirtgrainsteel]

To this day I still don't know why he didn't want me to change the valve adjustment but I can tell you I did check them off camera and believe it or not they were ok....tractor puller secrets I guess

[@williammatzek4660]

Do you have the stub shaft that goes into the steering wheel? You could start it by hand. Where is the generator?

[@shawnfox8002]

It looks like it just needs some persuasion from a 2x4 and dead blow hammer

[@bladewiper]

Congrads on a job well done. What was that "copper coat" you put on the gasket ? I only know of copper coat antiseize.

[@theda850two]

Salt,, probably the aerosol version of the same thing.... I'm a fan of that stuff.

[@bladewiper]

@@theda850two Interesting, it's always good when you learn something new. Thanks.

[@michaelisrude]

We went past and honked. Didn’t see any activity though

[@davidkimmel4216]

👍👍👍😇😇😇

[@stevewbeards]

I believe there is an equation for torques on lubed bolts that aren't specified as being lubed during assembly. Dry bolts are torqued to higher specs than lubed. Not sure the science behind it. Just passing on information.

[@FFmike790]

@Jeff Soucie You are correct, lubrication reduces (dry) friction, requires less effort to obtain acquired holding strength on threads. And I was taught, which I later read from different manufactures that reiterated, that you step up in increments across all fasteners before reaching total spec.

[@richardharris7714]

Put some paint please on it

[@lesjensen1288]

The most that tractor will see of a spray gun would be to clear coat it!

[@lufkinarpc8742]

Oil on head bolts and nothing else, this old mechanic cringes when i see amatures working on tractors
