Working on the JD G (getting it running again)

[@AnglesideFarm]

Something about that deep unmistakable sound of the JD G. Looks like a nice one Hans.

Beautiful tractor! Can’t wait to own a g or a r. I currently own a 39 b. My grandfather has 6 2cylinders , I grew up loving the pop!

[@TractorHoarders]

Thank you! The B is such a great tractor. I have a later styled one, but they’re so capable and economic with fuel. It’s a great tractor!

[@parkersposts]

@@TractorHoarders Absolutely, I have a 6ft finish mower that I pull behind to. Cuts pretty well and just sips gas compared to our model D

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great sounding tractor. I had to put a water pump on my 1951 tea20 Ferguson tractor last week. Plow match next weekend.

[@TractorHoarders]

Cool! So are you all ready for the plow match now? You’ll have to tell me how it went. Sounds fun!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

@@TractorHoarders yes. Hopefully ready. Today is Wednesday August 24th. Plow match starts Friday. Parade and more plowing Saturday. And tractor pulls Sunday. Look up Dundas Plowing Match, all details there. We have a few that come to plow from neighbouring provinces too. Have a good day Hans.

Add a 3 point hitch, along with a quick hitch or Pat's Easy Change hitch and you'll be able to use it a lot more. That's what I've done on both a B and a G and they're in constant use. Your tractor runs good!

[@TractorHoarders]

I have a 3 point on my B and am thinking of moving it over to the G or my A. My only conflict is if the top link bracket blocks my hydraulic outlets, that’s a pain too as I use them.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Now I know why the antifreeze shelves are always empty at my local store LOL! Sounds like your youngster is bored. I can cure that if you want to loan him out! I have a bored grandson arriving soon for some boredom therapy 😂👍

[@TractorHoarders]

It’s us tractor guys buying it all up!! 😂 Hope you and your grandson have a good visit, Matt!

[@dickarnott9523]

Gee great vid. First time vewe. We had a G and an A. When l grew up in Rhodesia. We uswd to start them with the steering wheel in the fly wheel.

[@TractorHoarders]

I’d like to try starting my G with the steering wheel one of these days. I have an adapter for it. I’m sure it’s not easy!

[@far_out_in_the_country]

Hey! I just found your channel after I commented on you “Snogging” your B up the hill!

[@TractorHoarders]

Welcome!!

[@scottkettler6946]

That sounds like a strong running motor

[@TractorHoarders]

It’s a good ol G for sure!

[@tractorhyatt7044]

Hi Hans! Thanks for sharing your update on the JD G! Wife and I had a great time at Nowthen. Wish you could have been there with us! Got to drive the Memorial Farmall H and of course, my Case RC! Do you plan to attend any tractor shows in the coming weeks? Hopefully you are doing well! Oops, almost forgot, we visited Moline IL and Waterloo IA on the way up, took lots of pictures of vintage JD tractors. Do you post your email on your KZbin channel? If so, I can send you pictures. Any word on being in a John Deere commercial? 🇺🇲🚜👍

[@TractorHoarders]

Howdy Hyatt! I enjoyed seeing you take your Case RC Sunburst for a spin in Kenny's video. Hope you and Monica had a good visit and enjoyed the show. I sure wish I could have joined you all. Life is a little complicated for me at the moment and trying to work through it. I may be done with tractor shows this year; not too many left here for me locally, but that's okay. I got to attend a few. My email is [e-mail]. I'd love to see your pics if you want to share them. I did hear back regarding the JD commercial and due to some conflicts with weather and their production crew, they are now targeting next spring. I was officially accepted into the "John Deere talent library" and they'll consider me for future. We'll see! Good to hear from you, and hopefully we can meet up in the future at some point one of these days.

Good to see it running? Where did you get your hat from?

No water pump on our g

[@TractorHoarders]

The previous owner added it to mine

[@Jason1Pa]

I'm not saying this to put you down or start a argument,but do a search on extended life coolant and older engines. Never a good idea. They contain too many things that cause the older gaskets to leak. Also metals like brass,copper,etc. do not hold up to it. You want Green coolant that says "original" and that needs changed every couple years.

[@TractorHoarders]

Hey Jason, I always appreciate good advice. I have never researched this but I’ll check it out. Thanks for looking out! #TractorGang! 🤙🏼👊🏼😆

[@Jason1Pa]

@@TractorHoarders No problem man. You did good with the 50/50 mix. A lot of guys will say why are you paying for water? It's not just water. It is deionized water. The purest form of water you can get. Even better then distilled water. If you would buy it by the gallon to mix it it is very expensive and hard to find. So it's actually cheaper to buy the 50/50 mix with the BEST kind of water already in it then mixing it by yourself.

[@TractorHoarders]

@@Jason1Pa I agree and was aware of the 50/50 having deionized water. I think I may have put this in my A a few years ago and it leaks. But it leaked before so maybe never connected it all lol. Some days I feel like selling all of these things and starting over lol.

[@Jason1Pa]

@@TractorHoarders 😆 We've all been there!

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

@@TractorHoarders don’t sell them. I was teasing a bunch of garden tractor buddies on tractor fanatics a little while ago. I was having a bunch of trouble with my garden tractors and I said I was fed up, and sold all my garden tractors, 11 of them, and bought a JD 1025R with loader. Well they were going to come from Kentucky, South Dakota, and other states to tar and feather me. So don’t sell your tractors. Hehehe.
