Ain't running right. It's misfiring. A Johnny Popper should run perfectly under a load like that. Could be several different things, but that right there would bother me off enough to fix it before using it again.
yeah. it could be anything from bad plugs to the carb needing cleaned/rebuilt. i had the carb on Dad's '31 professionally rebuilt and it runs excellent now.
I bet it would be very difficult to hand start it with it running so poorly. I’d bet they pull started it with another tractor. I’d definitely put some time and $ into rebuilding the carb, new plugs, wires, points, condenser and coil while at it.
My dad had a belt drive welder that ran off the JD D pulley. Seems like the D only fired about every 5 minutes and that was the only time you got a good arc. Dad’s theory on welding was if you throw enuff rod at it then the weld would hold.
While Dad was grinding grain with our D, I would stand in front of the exhaust and let it puff on my parka in random places. You can see in the video that the exhaust comes out here, there and every where.
Nothing more satisfying than watching all the equipment at work! It is a fascination of mine
I grew up with JD, Fords. This reminds me of when I'd ride with my father on 53 Ford Jubilee.
Best days of my life...

Sounds like you need some ac plugs to make it stop missing
I dunno, sounds about the same as any other old john deere I ever heard run.
Now you know why old Farmers were Deaf

I now realize I have the curtain mounted upside down in front of the radiator
