Progress report 1948 JD A & #5 mower
More improvements to 1948 John Deere A and #5 sickle bar mower. Removed the long bolts in bar. Added the stabilizer rod to hold the bar in a safe place while moving the tractor. Also replaced 27 knife guards with new ones. The fuel tank has some rust so I added a filter inside the tank on top of the fuel bowl.

Soon I will be attaching this #5 John Deere mower to the 1948 John Deere A tractor. Last fall I drained the oil in the transmission, installed new gaskets, cleaned the old grease and oil off and put new 140 weight lube back in. I need to repair part of the lift arm and get a carriage bolt for the inside skid plate.

1930's Caterpillar grader with power control.
Переглядів 2633 роки тому
Trailer type road grader. A Caterpillar grader from the 1930' or early 1940's. I need to do more research. The grader number is 5E52. I do not know the model number. It has a one cylinder air cooled gasoline engine that powers the hydraulic with mechanical controls. The controls operate the wheel lean front and rear, the steering, the circle, the side shift, and the blade lift left and right.
1948 John Deere A hub puller

Dave built this puller for the rear hub on the 1948 John Deere A tractor. Dave was the builder and the narrator. This puller utilizes the hub clamp from the tractor. The screw fits inside the hub so it will pull the rusty stubborn hub the full length.

    It's geat to see the old technology. My father had a Farmall 400 Diesel that started on gasoline and then swapped to diesel after the motor warmed up a bit. May have been the same motor as this TD. As a kid, I liked the smoke rings the old tractor made when Dad switched over to diesel

    Beautiful tractor and in great shape. I had a 1957 720 John Deer diesel wide front electric start. Loved that tractor. I got well over 4000 hours of seat time on that old girl. Although the pony start may have had an advantage over the electric start in our Iowa winters, I wouldn’t choose the pony over electric start. Just my personal preference Thanks for sharing this gorgeous beauty with the world!

    The LJ uses the same sheet metal as this truck, but it is an NR military vehicle. One of many models that Mack built for the military in WWII. They built at least 9 varient NRs and this may be an NR9 as it has the all steel cab.There were....NM,NO,EH Flat bed,&tractor. I think there may have been smaller numbers of civie models for specific non combat roles

    Get rid of the cable and replace it with a rod, about 3/8 diameter, with a bolt welded on the end going through the cutter bar. Weld a short rod to the nut that screws onto the bolt on the rod. This will be much safer than the cable. Also cut off the long bolts stinking above the nuts attacking the guards, they will catch the hay and plug up the cutter bar.

    So, does the tank come off with the hood, or can you unbolt the tank supports and lift the hood off leaving the tank in place?

    • @richardestey7739
      @richardestey7739 2 роки тому

      Fuel tank has clips and carriage bolts to attach it to the inside lip of the hood. Remove the nuts (4) from the bolts and lift the bolt up and pull out on the lip of the hood and lift it up. The front tank support drops down a little but the tank is still supported by the rear one. One person on each side lifts and pulls the hood away from the area where the clips attach. This tractor does not have a strap over the top of the tank.
