Winter John Deere 2 cylinder tractor belt and pull start after repairs.

The head gasket was replaced and there is no fuel in the system to start it after putting it back together. I froze waiting for the fuel, lost a video segment, and it started after cracking open the line. The pull start the next day went easily. Its now fuly filled with radiator fluid parked in the shed till first cutting starts in the hay field.

I order some old parts from Steiner Tractor Parts, Inc., Lennon, Michigan. Matter of fact, my grandfather owned an Allis Chalmers dealership in the 1930s and 1940s in Lennon. We ran all John Deere, but in 1965 we bought a front drive assist 1950 Oliver Detroit Diesel and pulled a 8/16 plow. Nice video.

That Detroit diesel is probably sitting in someone's collection today!

It was.about 1966 dad traded for a 70 just like you showed. (On gas) I cultivated milo on that tractor. 4 row mounted cultivator. In 1965 dad bougjt a new.4020 on diesel. I now own a 1954 70 on gas swartz wide front. I also own a 1962 4010 standard on diesel , with a loader. Couple yrs ago i bought a 1967 4020 row crop standard on diesel. I'm putting the loader back on that tractor. None of these are the tractors dad bought.

Our son is claiming most of the tractors as his, now the youngest is also. They want h did the same with the pickup trucks. We won't have any to tell in our old age with 4 boys with the same interests.

I have my dad's 70 diesel. It's next on my list. Everything just costs so much more now. Those Firestone Field and Road tires are $1200 now and for a couple of years were not even available.

[@mommymilestones]

Yes we have been getting good used tires off marketplace but not much brand new.

Thanks buddy! Older equipment can be fixed forever by normal people with simple tools so we will keep at it.

Nice to see the kids work on the tractors. I started working in the shop on tractors at 6. Nice job on the videos. You do a better job than I do.

[@mommymilestones]

Well, George is 6! Maybe he will be a tractor encyclopedia like you someday from being around it so early? Their dad buys them original parts books and service manuals for trucks, tractors, engines and equipment. Not much better schooling than that.

[@jessewintersteen4740]

[@mommymilestones]

What is?

[@JohnDeere-r1x]

Nothing better :-) Also, sounds like you need to either replace the clutch slider, driver or both.

[@mommymilestones]

Good call!

[@richcain64]

H D sells a cleaner you can hose the green off the back of ur house, works real well.

[@mommymilestones]

Terrible isn't it! It's the shaded side of the house and a yearly job every spring domestics fall. Soon

[@scottpecora371]

I thought how wonderful that George has his own work bench for his height.

[@mommymilestones]

Thanks, that was his request at Christmas. A man at an early age.

[@jordanedwards3066]
