Driving the BW To the Dry Farm and Back (With A Steep Grade Climb)

In this video I take the 1949 John Deere WB AF (All-Fuel) over to a field on the dry farm (non-irrigated land) and back. The tractor does get a load applied to the engine while climbing the hills.
Sorry about the transmission whine--I've tried various oils and such to try to reduce it, but as far as I can tell from reading online, it's common with these old tractors and if they do it then there's not much you can do about it.
The BW All-Fuel for the late styled Model B tractor is somewhat rare. According to Mr. Thinker's Almanac, only 814 Late Styled BW All-Fuel models were produced.

Back when farmers had a say in Washington DC. Of course 15 or so percent of the population was working on the land and a pretty good number of people were working to support them doing jobs like building that tractor. Back when a 12 year old boy was doing a man's work. That's what made America. Thanks for posting. Nice tractor. Beautiful country. . I have a 46 B.

That is nice country, really nice tractor. Growing up we never had a tractor with a cab. It was cold and hot, umbrellas are a game changer. Thanks for Sharing

Great video as always. I appreciate it here in Pennsylvania.

Love my 1951 BW.

Mine needs paint and tires. Then, off to the son’s Colorado ranch with the box scraper to groom his gravel driveways

What is the name of this valley in Idaho again? Prettiest land I've ever seen.

[@richardwilkens4577]

Did you know the has a faster full throttle rpm than the A and the G

[@randyscott8660]

Yes i was listening also it sounded like an M to me...

[@KyleWeber]

That does make sense where it's a smaller engine to have a higher RPM (similar to the M, as @randyscott8660 mentioned). I just wish the tranny wasn't so loud so you could hear it better in the video.

I see the front wheels wobbling back and forth, but I can’t see the steering wheel. Could your steering gear be loose? Nice country, tractor, and video!! I have a 1951 BW. Yakima hitch, live hydraulics, water pump, and tachometer/ speedometer.
