Cold Starting the Tractors Late Dec 2013

I took this video to show most of the tractors cold-starting. I was able to start every one of my two-cylinders, except for the B. The tractors are, in order, a 1947 John Deere A, '64 2010, '59 630, '39 A hand-start, attempted '49 B, '72 4020, and '80 4640.

My grandfather loved this video so much he watched it twice! He loves the old Tractors!

[@KyleWeber]

That's awesome! Thanks!

[@12799MaDeuce]

That '39 A made me jump - had my headphones up, enjoying the put-put-put when BANG!

[@kyleweber3392]

haha well thanks! Those old two-cylinder machines are a lot of fun. The 39 does like to pop when it's choking for fuel, too. I usually try and brace myself for it ;)

[@marchindy]

Cool videos thanks for posting them.

Boy you got a lot of tractors over there! And it sure looks nippy cold too. How many helping hands you got on a typical Plow Day? I used to hang out on my Grandpa's Oklahoma Farm back in the early '60's. I believe he had a JD Model A that he bought used in '56 (that definitely had the Dreyfus front end grille stylin'). Wondered how we could fight the rust growing on your *JD* *2010* at frame 6:50 ? If I was farming, do I wipe down the Tractor dry everytime I return it to the Barn? Then spray a light coat of WD40 or something? This is exactly how I do my Costume Fabrication Tools here in Hollywood California these days.

Love this video. You should do more of these!

[@KyleWeber]

Why thank you! I'll have to do that :)

[@erict2133]

Yes do some more! This is one of my favorites. Even my grandpa likes watching all the old John deeres get started up!

[@tristoncorbin4412]

Nice video =)

[@huntingandstuff9489]

Nice collection. I'm guessing you use several of these tractors

[@KyleWeber]

haha yeah, too many! 3 As, B, G, 730, 630, 420, 435...

[@dcw1540]

Nice dogs

[@joshuamcculley6418]

Is the 49 a original paint

[@KyleWeber]

The 47 A is original paint, but the 39 A has had a paint job at some point (before I got it).

[@joshuamcculley6418]

Sorry meant 47 oops

[@joshuamcculley6418]

+Kyle Weber i have a 51 a that needs restored badly. it runs on 1 cyl.

[@KyleWeber]

Joshua McCulley If you want any advice, feel free to ask!

[@m4a2e6shermantankdozerblad8]

Kyle you should to a push starter

[@austinjonas4264]

I have a 1944 John Deere b hand start and I can't get mine to start in the winter

[@KyleWeber]

Typically a Deere two-cylinder will always fire within the first few revolutions, regardless of the temperature (we get down below 30--but I usually don't start them much below zero). It's probably something like your timing being slightly off, low compression, weak mag, etc.

[@austinjonas4264]

Kyle Weber found out I have low compression and it's in time

[@joshuamcculley6418]

On the 39 a its not supposed to have the letter a on it

[@KyleWeber]

yep, I know. It came that way and I haven't bothered to change it.

[@joshuamcculley6418]

What was behind 47 a

[@KyleWeber]

Thanks Joshua for watching! It's a Model H series 47 JD manure spreader. As well as a No. 58 Sickle Mower, and 55 H plow. Back further there's also a two newer Hesston manure spreaders.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Nothin runs like a Deere!!!

[@71wicker]

Bud you gotta give these a little more throttle!!

[@m4a2e6shermantankdozerblad8]

Kyle should get the 1951 model B

[@DesertDigger1]

They're all begging to go to work and be run !, that's what they were meant to do.

[@m4a2e6shermantankdozerblad8]

Kyle you should buy a 530 tractor

[@KyleWeber]

haha I'd love one!! If I saw a 520/30 for sale at a descent price and somewhat close, I'd jump on it in a hurry!

[@m4a2e6shermantankdozerblad8]

Kyle Weber Ya you will get one

[@m4a2e6shermantankdozerblad8]

Kyle Weber you should get a john deere 2030

[@bobwhite3777]

M4a2e6 Sherman Tank dozer blade that THIG is a beast!

[@m4a2e6shermantankdozerblad8]

I got a 1941 model a that has a push starter

[@KyleWeber]

Electric start was an option starting in 1939. I think most were hand starts at that time, however, It wasn't a standard option until the 1948 model year. 1941 would be a great machine!
