John Deere AR Plowing

First time out plowing with our 1950 AR.

[@rudycarlson8245]

Those John Deere two cylinder tractors all the best sounding tractors ever! They are loud enough with a regular muffler on it but I think they sound just a little bit better with a straight pipe on it that makes them louder but it is one of the best sounds in this world! Those that has not grown up with these tractors might have a hard time understanding

[@jonmiller8819]

I couldn't agree more with you Mr. Carlson.

[@dwightl5863]

Straight pipe mufflers are for parades and tractor pulls. Hearing that straight pipe all day gets old pretty quick.

[@jonelsonster]

The iconic sound of a 2 cylinder John Deere can't be matched

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@jonelsonster there is no way that sound can be matched!

[@butchhuebsch3445]

What??? Growing into my late 50's now, and running the stock muffler on a tractor 40 years at the time. How come that big sqare radio could be clearly heard a 1/4 mile a way but I could barely hear it right next to me?

Grew up on a JD AR and mother's milk.. Both beautiful. Emerson

[@jonelsonster]

Ha ha!

[@jennysanderson8573]

I've always fancied an AR. The seat is nice and low so it rides a lot better than the whip-lash and rock you get on a row-crop A. Least ways, that's true of my D compared to my A. Gentle riding configuration. Thanks for the video.

[@jonelsonster]

I agree. There is just something about sitting low down suspended out behind the rear wheels on an AR or a D... It's very different than working on a row crop.

[@keepcalmandfarmon5401]

Glad to see the AR ran nice...sad about the plow...

[@jonelsonster]

Yeah, the AR runs really well. And I was really sad to see my plow break. But I think I may try fixing it... We'll see.

[@MrEcm51]

I tell ya, the model A’s and AR’s sound the best with the right mufflers on them. Some sound good with the straight pipe, but nothing beats that muffler sound. Is your plow fixable? Or is it shot? I hope you can fix it.

[@jonelsonster]

Yeah, I think I have a plan on how I can fix the plow. It may not work, but at this point I don't have anything to lose.

[@user-xb5up5kj9v]

We had one just like it in Alberta. We pulled 3 bottom 16" plow.

[@jonelsonster]

Yes, this is a strong puller. If we had a 3 bottom plow, it'd be fun to see how it did

[@chuckwilliams9090]

The AR will pull a 3 bottom

[@jonelsonster]

Probably would ... We just don't have one

[@dwightl5863]

Is the AR the same horsepower as an A? Its stance makes it seem to be a bigger tractor to me.

[@chuckwilliams9090]

@@dwightl5863 the AR has about 13 more HP than the A and weighs about 1500 more than the A . The D is the most powerful in those years 33/53 and my favorite 8.3 engine.

@@chuckwilliams9090 Thanks for the clarification. I'm 100% smarter now.

I’d love to own that #2 allis plow.

[@jonelsonster]

Yes, it's a very nice plow. I'm glad the guy in our club let us borrow it.

[@THESHARKHUNTER540]

Is engine speed set at 975 RPM/ Sounds a little slow to me.

[@jonelsonster]

Good ear. The governor spring (the flat bar connecting the throttle handle and the governor) is weak. So this tractor didn't like to run fast. It's always slow.

[@stevemccoy8138]

How many bottoms would it pull ? Three ?😊

[@jonelsonster]

I'm this soil it'd easily pull three. But if you're breaking sod then I'd stick with 2.

[@rickiemckillip8124]

I'm surprised you aren't pulling a 3 bottom plow

[@jonelsonster]

I don't have a 3 bottom plow. Otherwise I probably would.
