Amazing what you can do when you have no fear of failing, just determination.

Just to sit down with him and talk would be awesome. He probably has more knowledge and experience than most mechanical engineers. Our stories would make a great book. Merry Christmas 🎄

Thanks for another interesting video. That turbo's about the truth with quite a few things over the years with farm shops and guys like us that'll give it a try. I can tell you I've had some customers out of money and got a machine down that needed $1500 plus of parts from the dealers. Yep there was some of those it shouldn't work but the guys got nothing to loose trying fixes that are still going over 10 years later. one guy I used to fix for had 2 one hay season, his 1175 Case baling tractor started dumping coolant in the oil, the sleeves were bad round the seal rings. I filled her up with hot water so it worked quicker and shoved block cement in it as a temporary fix to get him through that season,then rebuild for next season. The tractor ended up 2 miles from here 3 years ago, He told the guy that bought it what the motor was like. It's still never been apart or leaked a drop, I'm sure one day it'll toss it's cookies though when the bottom drops off the sleeve. His 535 JD baler was another project, it wore the nose bearings in the pto input shaft, that gearbox was expensive to buy a new one as it upgraded with no parts for the old one. I figured the wear with some careful measuring sent him to town for 2 sets of feeler gauges. Halved the wear in each direction and used the relevant gauges as shims round the bearing, checked the tooth mesh then glued the shims and bearings in with 620 Loctite. He knows where that baler is now and that's never been a problem again either. Those 2 repairs saved thousands and I'm pretty sure he paid me about 3 or $400 for them all those years ago. Hope you guys have a good Christmas and new year, from Rob in SW Manitoba, Canada.

My son has an unstyled A. Im not too familiar with 2 cyl john deeres but this thing is all you do to start with the flywheel even with the petcocks open. I assume somebody must have increased the compression. If you run cheap gas in it, it wont shut off. It will keep running like a diesel.

My dad 'Bill Teipen' Ran a 4010 7000 SS in the NTPA back in the early 70s up until about 75 and then he got out due to the expense. We farmed a lot back then, nearly 2000 acres. around Seymour Indiana. He actually got 3rd back in 73 at Louisville then some 20 years later myself and my brother Phil Teipen built a JD 7610 10.000 Pro Stock and named it NIGHTLIFE. We were fortunate enough to win the finals twice at Louisville and Dad got to witness it. I was just a kid but I still remember running the Southern circuit all the way down to Kissimmee Fl with dad back in like 74ish with Danny Dean, Don Harness, Lloyd McVey, Tom and Jenny Strieker etc.. .. Fantastic memories kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHTdc4ilgdyZatU

Hey Eric! I'm familiar with the Teipen name and your Pro Stock NIGHTLIFE from the Puller, or other pulling mags. That must have been great to see those "legends" of the sport back in the early 70s! Glad you guys had good success wlth your tractor while your Dad was there to see. It's awesome you took time to leave a comment, thanks for watching!

John Deere "A" tractor featuring a turbocharged two-cylinder engine. While the original John Deere Model A tractors were typically equipped with a naturally aspirated two-cylinder engine, some tractor enthusiasts and mechanics may undertake modifications to enhance performance.Original John Deere "A": The John Deere Model A was introduced in the 1930s and featured a two-cylinder engine known for its distinctive "pop-pop" sound. These engines were not initially designed with turbocharging.For collectors who value the originality of vintage tractors, modifications like turbocharging may affect the historical authenticity of the machine. However, for those interested in customized or high-performance tractors, these modifications can be appealing.

Do you remember if you had any trouble with the clutch holding all that power? Very interesting interesting I pull JD60 in Illinois always looking for more power and other tweaks.

You mentioned the solid junk you wrote on the gas tank, I believe that was a alcohol super stock g1000 moline Lyle Hull ran in the 70's by the same name any connection?

Just a fan of that tractor. Actually, Dave Stangle campaigned "Solid Junk". We would like to acquire that tractor and put it back to 1970s specs!

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 I was mistaken that was just before my time I have a neighbor that ran a very similar setup g1000 back then and bought parts from Lyle but he may have mentioned Dave and I just forgot it. Pretty neat setup they had back then.

That be a neat one to put back together if you could find the tractor. What kinda power did your 70 put when you pulled against Bealls W-9.

We never had a way to Dyno the 70, but probably less than 200.

Did you ever have any putt-putts fly apart? My brother has a warm G and as much as I like power, big parts flying right front you of cross ways makes me nervious...............I guess I will stick to red paint, they will fly out each side. And your right............putting a turbo on a IH D282 will equal nothing more than a blown head gasket, those were not one of IH's finest moments.
