I wanted to comment on how very professional your repair videos always are. Your filming process is structured so it's neat and easy to understand. The sound is clear and everything is in an unobstructed view and there are closeups wherever necessary. You always explain every tiny step in great detail, and that's what equals quality. A good lengthy video is what makes me stop at yours first because it makes me think, "Ah ha, I'll bet Rachel's got a repair video for what I'm doing." Don't listen to the negative comments--- continue cranking out those videos and I look forward to the next. Keep those hands dirty and those tractor engines running! God bless.
I wanted to thank you for your videos. I never write comments or reviews but I am so impressed with your videos. They are no nonsense, very professional, and very educational. So many videos out there are terrible to watch because the people in them love to hear themselves talk so they drag on and on. Yours are the best, they are to the point with everything you need to know and nothing in them that you don't . I wish all how to videos online were like yours. Everyone could take a lesson from you on how to make repair videos. You rock! Please keep up the great work.
My father in law purchased a 1939 B with a two bottom plow brand new. He sold his team of four horses and became mechanized. When he passed away he still had his 39 B and plow. He taught me how to start it, by twisting her tail. He also showed me how to run it and start it on gas then when it got warm enough switch to distillate, "fuel oil". We always was working on it, tinkering is more like it, but it always ran well. He also had a 70 with an end loader on it. Those were the best days for me personally. The old johnny popper was a special tractor for him and me. I must say though we didn't do as thorough of a job as you do, but we did keep her running. I am addicted to watching your tutorials and hope they continue for the long term. Keep smiling and all the best for you.
Thank you very much for showing how to properly go through one of these! I rebuild carbs on the side and too many times I hear "I cleaned it but it still doesn't run right, but I already cleaned the carb so its NOT the carb!" Hopefully the DIY people will watch this so they can understand it a little better.
Love your great instructional videos, I'm hooked on watching them all and I don't even own a tractor. Its great to think there is a close family working together to make every video. Keep up the great work.
WOW WOW WOW!!! once again,,,im impressed! Ive learned lots,,,not only on this tractor but principles and hints that will apply to others. Rachel is very easy to understand, speaks clearly and distinctly,,,knows her subjects, and has an organized presentation!!! Thanks bunches,,,,bill in alabama
I rebuilt a 1946 John Deere Model B and I spent a snowy winter in the woods North of Greenbrier to dismantle two other models to repair my tractor. Simply made and easy to repair. American Manufacturing has only added more whistles and bells to newer models. I do acknowledge the extras like cab, air conditioner and radio. ;D
careful speaking, easy to understand, clear, confident, knowledgeable, unhurried, great video,,,,,we all get lots of understanding and helpful hints and tips from your presentation. Wish you had been my instructor during school and college and mechanical classes over the years! I surely would have had an easier time of it and learned more......thanks a bunch!!
Very helpful video when I was working on my Dad’s tractor. The tips you provided helped me get through a lot of areas I was hung up on. There were some times I couldn’t see the screw or part you were referring too as the camera angle was blocked by a hand or not enough light. Either way this video is extremely helpful. Thanks for making them!
I plan on using you videos more in the future for my own tractors!!! I have a John Deere 630 and a John Deere 60. And I also like the face that there is another girl out there that likes tractors just as much as I do!!! Thank you!!!
Here I thought I needed a carb rebuild and thought to watch a video on how to do it before I order anything and dive in on a rebuild, I learned 2 things first off, these are super simple to repair, and 2 my idle and main jets were way out of wack from the previous owner and turning 1.5 turns out was all it really needed! Thanks a ton 😀
Excellent! You do a great job showing how someone with just regular hand tools can put these old carburetors back in "like new' condition. Taking pictures of components with my phone. Before dissembling them. Has been very helpful for me durning reassembly. BC of my short memory. :(
Excellent job on pulling that carburetor apart and explaining every process. I am a mechanic and have rebuilt many of those carburetors on all the two cylinder tractors.I watched your video just to see how a "girl "would do it. You did a very very nice job. Your dad should be very proud of you
Hi I love you're videos,,,you're simply the best! I had a 1951 John Deere b tractor back in the day,,wish now I had saw you're videos when I had it...great job keep up the great work!!! Shawna burns
The reamer used is a 5/16 .3125 chucking reamer. If the throttle shaft is too tight in the bushings the governor can not adjust when the engine is under load.
wow, im impressed, a woman doing a carb,, i admire a woman that is pretty and not all girly girl, not afraid to get there hands dirty and is mechanicly inclined, i bow down to you if i was in your presence
When I did my dads B John Deere I put all cast iron parts through a self cleaning oven and then blow and wire brush it off then double check passages it cleaned up like a brand new part.
having just completed the rebuild on a dltx 71 i noticed some parts that weren’t included in the kit, but should have. 3 brass plugs, for the choke shaft, and the two access holes for the idle air on the side. i also had to trim the felt throttle shaft seal to 1/3 length. i also had to use the shaft of an extra long 5/16 drill bit to align the throttle shaft bushings so that the throttle shaft would move freely. ‘49 A
Well, this past spring I bought the 6" aircraft bits from W.W. Grainger and tore into my carb. 37 B DLTX10. I really put some heat to the plugs to get them out. Used the bits in the passages. Found the idle passage from stem yo top was plugged solid. Soaked it, sprayed it out, put it together and on the tractor. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Took it to the spring show. Started fine. Fellas commented on how good it sounds. Started for me. Now - fall. She won't start by hand. Have to pull her. Pulled carb apart. Clean as a whistle! Oops, left the main jet spring out in June. Made one from piano wire. Got to the show. Had to pull it every time to start it. But then it ran strong! Any thoughts? It has a Fairbanks Morse RV2B on it. I think it's going to Rudy Cailin this winter.
Wonderful lucid and clear JD Maintenance Video! But Man! I know *Rachel* *ain't* *from* *L.A.* That Woman sho' knows her stuff and clearly wasn't reading off a TV cue card. Did she sew up that fancy Green/Yeiiow *Tractor* *Seat* *Cover* up top? It don't look as plain as the ones in '51 and '52. Thought only my Late Granny knew as much about my Late Grandpa's JD A.
Thank you for this video!!! I am 17 and I watched it several times and I was able to clean my great uncle's carburetor on his John Deere "A" I wouldn't have been able to do it without you! I have a question... what do you use as a parts cleaner?
I would like you to do a video of how to remove the engine oil pump from a John. Deere 50 tractor . I like the how to videos that I have seen ,they are very good & educational thanks .Donald C Nickerson .
ATTENTION!!! Anyone looking for information on the drill bits she cites in the video. Google search or speak to your local hardware store (I had luck at ACE hardware) for a Wire Gauge Drill bit (set). They typically come in sets numbered 1-60 and 61-80, or you can buy them individually! Hope this helps...
Hi, I’m rebuilding the exact carburetor and I didn’t see you take out or install the nozzle, but I did see it on the table? I’m trying to figure out if mine has one, or if it’s stuck in the channel
Like all these old tractors, fuel & DEBRIS gets into the tank. This is where rubber line helps. With long rubber, you can bring it above the tank and blow the fuel back up into it. This is sometime necessary because debris gets caught in the sediment screen.
Very nice video. Good process and professionally done! One comment though. You mentioned heating certain parts if necessary. Never use an open flame around a carburetor for obvious reasons. There may be gasoline residue in the carb or around the work area.
Your video is excellent, I am soon going to be involved extensively in getting one very neglected John Deere Model A. Left in the field from 1980s until now. Unfortunately the air cleaner stack was removed. I am hoping that water hasn't made it into the Engine. The owner is an elderly man who purchased it New and he would love to have Her running again .She is in bad shape from the looks of things the Goat's was made short work of the edible parts, wiring seat and all. I thank you for the fine instructional video.
I'm in love, but aside from that i need to know if my 1948 or so John Deere mt has separate transmission fluid or is lubricated with the hydraulic fluid
I understand (but may be wrong) that three drill bits are needed to clean out the passageways on a DLTX-10. They are #53, #57 and #40. Can you direct me to some picture and/or directions that tell which drill bit is used for each passageway?
If your Flushing Your Carb Passages & Intend to Paint your Carb Body, Id suggest Using Brake Cleaner as it dries clean, Carb Cleaner leaves an oil film & Will make it difficult tro paint over carb cleaner residue
Rachel, can you speak to where you find your specifically numbered drill bits? I've scoured the web to no avail. Would love a comprehensive kit covering many specialty sizes, but not even sure what to search for! Thanks :)
Roger Harrison Roger I think you're talking about the ream she used to clean out the throttle shaft bushing's. You would need to go to a machine tool online store most likely. Not cheap and not recommended to use the way she did you probably could do it with a simple long drill bit if it's a standard size like quarter-inch or 5/16 you could get it at Lowes or the big orange store.

Check www.drillsandcutters.com They have the #40 ($1.23), #53 ($3.96) and #57 (4.77) that I need but haven't ordered yet. Shipping is $7.99. Be sure you get the 6 inch (read the description of each) because others they offer are much shorter. They prefer to ship in a pack of 12 but the site says they will sell one if that's what you need. I didn't see them on the Ace Hardware site but haven't checked the store in person. The 40 is 0.0980", the #53 is 0.0595", the #57 is 0.0430" diameter.
U should always check 😊😊 the old carb float U should shake it and there shouldnt be no noise or rattle in it if so theres a whole in it and it should be repkaced w a new 1😊😊 OMG 11 29 2O23
Wow this girl is so easy to understand in her videos, she makes it look so easy, her videos have helped me many many times.

My son and I are rebuilding his B carburetor and this is the most helpful video by far. We just ordered the comprehensive kit
WOW WOW WOW!!! once again,,,im impressed! Ive learned lots,,,not only on this tractor but principles and hints that will apply to others. Rachel is very easy to understand, speaks clearly and distinctly,,,knows her subjects, and has an organized presentation!!! Thanks bunches,,,,bill in alabama
My dad had a B just like that 😊
I love those tractors
I’m sure he did this repair a few times years back on the farm
Miss ya dad
I don't expect to ever own a John Deere 2 cylinder yet, here I am watching. It is satisfying to watch a craftsman or craftswoman work.
Very good
I rebuilt a 1946 John Deere Model B and I spent a snowy winter in the woods North of Greenbrier to dismantle two other models to repair my tractor. Simply made and easy to repair.

This girl sure does know her way around a tractor great videos learn a lot 😀 PS she is also very beautiful !!!!
Excellent video, very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you
Glad I found this video so I have a refresher for when I need to rebuild the carb on my A!
Hi I love you're videos,,,you're simply the best! I had a 1951 John Deere b tractor back in the day,,wish now I had saw you're videos when I had it...great job keep up the great work!!! Shawna burns
You are an amazing young lady. I learn a lot from your videos, they are great
The reamer used is a 5/16 .3125 chucking reamer. If the throttle shaft is too tight in the bushings the governor can not adjust when the engine is under load.
Very through and informative I will purchase from you when needed. EXELENT video
You're doing very good on repairing the carb. I like your post about this. Thank you
Great video with a ton of detail information in a step by step format with wonderful clarity. Thank You
lots of people can learn from you young lady,great job. to bad that you only work on john deere not a fordson major tractor
Very nicely done I enjoyed watching it
wow, im impressed, a woman doing a carb,, i admire a woman that is pretty and not all girly girl, not afraid to get there hands dirty and is mechanicly inclined, i bow down to you if i was in your presence

This young lady is a professional teacher. Thank you for that video. Do you sell the long drill bits too?
Nice job Rachel
All rounder, nice

Thanks, my brother Dave over in Lennon needed to see this video. Teagards...
Great job on the vid. I need to rebuild my 48 b. Very informative! Thanks

It has a Fairbanks Morse RV2B on it. I think it's going to Rudy Cailin this winter.
Wonderful lucid and clear JD Maintenance Video! But Man! I know *Rachel* *ain't* *from* *L.A.* That Woman sho' knows her stuff and clearly wasn't reading off a TV cue card. Did she sew up that fancy Green/Yeiiow *Tractor* *Seat* *Cover* up top? It don't look as plain as the ones in '51 and '52. Thought only my Late Granny knew as much about my Late Grandpa's JD A.
Thank you for the great video and info Good job.
I'd love to see way more videos from you!
your watching a master at wok* legend in the making.
Excellent keep up the great work:)
Rachel u are really tractor doctor :D Thanks u videos and take care.

Berryman CHEM DIP Carb Cleaner aboot $50 a gallon
Vidéo très instructive et très plaisante à visionner
Great video!!
With all of the instruction you went through you did not take the main nozzle out and clean it.
I would like you to do a video of how to remove the engine oil pump from a John. Deere 50 tractor . I like the how to videos that I have seen ,they are very good & educational thanks .Donald C Nickerson .

I need a model a carburetor rebuild and I’m not certain that I can do a good job
Do you guys rebuild them or just sell kits?
How do we contact you
Awesome video thank you so much for sharing beautiful very helpful...

She did say make sure it is clear of gas.
what a wet blanket, wanna be knowitall you are Frank
Hey bozo, the gas is all evaporated
Settle down white knights. He's got a point.

Good work!
Great helpful video.
Question. Since it had been taken apart recently and it didnt run right on the tractor, what did you find wrong with it?
Omg this woman is beautiful! Great video!
Love john deere ❤️
Genia
I'm in love, but aside from that i need to know if my 1948 or so John Deere mt has separate transmission fluid or is lubricated with the hydraulic fluid
Where can I get the drill bits needed for this? I seem to be able to only find drill bits in these small sizes that are too short.
On mine the lower plug that is parallel with the main body has a broken tap in it. Does that cause a vacuum leak?
I understand (but may be wrong) that three drill bits are needed to clean out the passageways on a DLTX-10. They are #53, #57 and #40. Can you direct me to some picture and/or directions that tell which drill bit is used for each passageway?
Where do you get those bits you use to clean out ports? I can seem to find
Soy seguidor suyo y le pido por favor haga un vídeo de un Massey Ferguson 185 ,de la falla de aceite en el escape .muchas gracias
If your Flushing Your Carb Passages & Intend to Paint your Carb Body, Id suggest Using Brake Cleaner as it dries clean, Carb Cleaner leaves an oil film & Will make it difficult tro paint over carb cleaner residue
What is the size of the reamer used? Also, why is it necessary to ream the throttle shaft; isn't the new one the same size as the old one?
Anyone know where i can get a maintenance book on a john deere 1935 A tractor? Thanks
I like yuor JOB
I like that john deere A but im not a fan of the fenders for some reson
Hi how can I fix my fiat 640 tractor hydrolic pump and is not lifting the ploug
Thank you!!!
So nice thank you Shalom
Where can you purchase the drill bitts...
Where can we see you in the tracker pull.
Rachel, can you speak to where you find your specifically numbered drill bits? I've scoured the web to no avail. Would love a comprehensive kit covering many specialty sizes, but not even sure what to search for!
Thanks :)
See my reply above about www.drillsandcutters.com.
At around 12:20 when you use a reamer to widen out the bushing, what size reamer do you use?
Where do I get the drill bits ?
They don't make em like this anymore ♡ And I didn't see a ring
is this different for a John Deere MT?
heat gun might be a better option around gas
Excellent video! Is the jet okay to leave as is?
Yes, leave the jet as is but thoroughly clean it. You'll likely damage the carburetor trying to remove and replace.
where did you get the drill bits?
Roger Harrison
Roger Harrison Roger I think you're talking about the ream she used to clean out the throttle shaft bushing's. You would need to go to a machine tool online store most likely.

U should always check 😊😊 the old carb float U should shake it and there shouldnt be no noise or rattle in it if so theres a whole in it and it should be repkaced w a new 1😊😊 OMG 11 29 2O23
I could use a good pit crew :)
How can I contact u all need help
You forgot to tell where to get those drill bits
You forgot the main nozzle......the most important part
