Thanks for the video. My great grandfather had a B on order during the war. First tractor to come in was an A so he took it. My grandfather drove it home from town after high school in 1947. He told many stories of the poppin Johnny. That same plow still sits here today. Broke up everything that was tillable on our place. The Deere was traded for an international super M in 1952.
Nothing Sounds better than a deere under load .. I work on many of these make sure to use marvel mystery oil in fuel good protection for that engine Thanks for posting this video thanks 😊👍
I grew up learning on a B. It was a workhourse, but we traded for a JD40 in 1954 with the hydraulics and electric start and lights and all those things the old B did not have.

Reminds me of the John Deere tractor my Uncle Lloyd used in the 1950s and early 1960s. I'm not sure what model it was but it was about that size and had a two cylinder engine.
Nowadays you got huge tractors pulling plows with a dozen blades (Oops. Noob. I mean 'bottoms') Back then you just replaced what a team of horses could pull and you were thankful.
It seems like a pretty big field for a two bottom plow. Of course, unlike here in New England, there aren't many rocks. We'd have to plow in second gear here and hit a rock about every 5 minutes. Tractor sounds good by the way. Thanks for sharing.
You are right it is a huge field for a two bottom plow. We only did about 15 or so passes for fun, work the older equipment. Plowing around our part of the U.S is a thing of the past we use a large CaseIH Field Cultivator to work the ground.
Pulling a 2 plow good . I am glade that you did not do anything stupid like other people do . Like putting a smokestack on the dam thing . Your a good farmer like things the way it needs to be .
It very well could be, only used that tractor plowing 1 or 2 times before this video so still getitng the hang of it and want to keep the rpm high plowing.
Antique farming is so cool and brings warm thoughts from past times when everything wasn't so huge massproduction. You only tried get livelihood to your family. 😎👍

You know after I made this video we went back the next day and plowed for about another hour and the driveshaft completely went out of it. Without anything on it it will barely move under its own power.
Nice looking tractor. Looks very similar to a 1941 B we had when I was growing up except ours had pressed front rims, instead of spoked front rims. Looks like your clutch was slipping for a little bit there. Easy to fix - just don't over tighten. Gain just 1 notch on 1 of the 3 lugs in the clutch, and that will make a big difference. I would think a 1943 would be a fairly rare model, as it's my understanding that there weren't many John Deere tractors made in 1943, because of World War II. I think Deere was mostly making military trailers, tank transmissions, parts for airplanes, and several other things during that time. You might have a fairly collectable tractor there.
about 2 weeks after this video my brother was pulling a small disk with it and the driveshaft went out of it. It barely moves under its own power with nothing attached. We parked it for now but plan to fix it.
I believe that a John Deere 70 diesel held the efficiency rank of number one until 1985. In 1985 that tractor was turbo powered. I believe that if you took a 25 horsepower tractor today, it couldn’t even pull that plow, That 18 horsepower would. The latest B was 24 horsepower
Oh how dangerous those old tractors must have been…. 1: no fenders 2: open spinning things 3: no seat belts 4: no sound proofing 5: no emission systems Oh how did we ever survive? I guess that only the smart ones did!!
@@RuralMidwest great great job you were doing,, for your first time plowing your model B tractor,,, back in 1967,, my first tractor that I plowed was a 1952 model B,,,at age 9... that started me to love all JOHN DEERE tractors.... thank for the video....
Takes me back to the days of being on the farm with my grandpa!
I'm Nicholas! I really enjoy your content... 😌 Happy New Year 🤗 Are you from Iowa?! Michigan here 😀
How many acres do you farm 🚜 🤔
I wish you a great day today!!!!! 🙏🙌

Thank you for sharing that is a great piece of history. Good to hear you still have the plow, many families kept the plows.
Farmer behind us in the 70s used to plant corn with one. Seemed he never got much above idle.
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop for hours on end. Loved that sound.
That's some beautiful ground he's turning over.
Beautiful. I can smell the dirt💚
I mow grass with my 1951 model A with a JD no5 7' sickle mower . I'm 72 in New Hampshire. 👍☮️

My grandfather farmed with a John Deere Model A, traded that in for a 720 diesel then traded that in for a 4020 diesel.
Anything and everything John deemed is what I like.
As the old farmers called them " the Johnny Popper "
Looks like he needs to adjust his clutch a bit. Nice B! I have to do the same to my 51' B that I've been restoring over the past few years.
He needs to make at least one full round on all 3 cluch nuts screws,,, for a Justments on the tractors
Brings back memories
Like the Jonny popper sound good little genius plow
Now that is a cyclone B John deere
I have a 44B, doing a search and found you. Nice B you have. Glad to see it in use!

Hope u get er fixed soon if u ain't already i love it sane year my dad was born.
Are you pulling that in 3rd gear? I could never get ours to pull a 2 bottom plow higher than 2nd.
Love these videos keep it up!
Thank you!
I love this. I have a 1944 B with a 7' sicclebar mower. We need to get you a better camera.

at one time around here, you could hear a popping JD running from daylight till dark April till December.

in Pa its rocks every 2 inches

Sounds like it's running a little fast?

Running a little genius with a john deere lol and here I am running a john deere 52 with a farmall. Good equipment all around lol

We never plowed any bean stubble. Plenty did! Man did it wash! The reason why alot plowed it because getting the planter through the trash.
one of ,if not, the most dangerous tractors ever built
I agree with you on that.
Why is that?
@@MidwestFarmToys lack of any safety features such as a drawbar extending under frame , narrow stance with front wheel(s) under radiator. that pos is still killing people
@@tudwortyjmcguern5689 just put on a helmet you'll be fine
@@tudwortyjmcguern5689. Stop going crazy.
Nice guns.
Yeah that clutch is way out of adjustment it should click when you engage
You know after I made this video we went back the next day and plowed for about another hour and the driveshaft completely went out of it. Without anything on it it will barely move under its own power.
Seems to have some clutch slippage. Might want to use a lower gear or fix that clutch.
That is exactly what the issue is. Shortly after filming this video it stripped the teeth off that shaft in your pully and it barely moves now.
Watch out for those Field Shrews, they tend to jump on and attack the fuel lines
Sounds sort of like half again more rpm than it should have. Clutch didn’t have the strength for the hp it was putting out.
What is the difference between a John Deere A and a John Deere B?
What brand is the plow?
International

@@RuralMidwest Good luck with the repair, hopefully it isn't too extensive.
My Grandpa Oliver got back from Korea in 1954, he bought a 1941 John Deere model B
Identical to my B .I think his is over sped a bit
older Bs had less clutch facings than the ones 1947 and up therefore having to be tightened up a lot.
Nothing runs like a Deere 💪💪💥💥
Is thuis an original JD plow?
I believe it was a case plow.
@@RuralMidwest ok thanks, that is a real good alternative, it is hard to find a JD plow for my 38 A here in Holland. Any advise welcome...
Love it 💚💛💚
The clutch definately needs adjusting or repair.
Why do these two lungers have irregular firing patterns? And how fuel efficient are they compared to modern engines?
They fire at 180 degrees and 540 degrees
I believe that a John Deere 70 diesel held the efficiency rank of number one until 1985. In 1985 that tractor was turbo powered. I believe that if you took a 25 horsepower tractor today, it couldn’t even pull that plow,
That 18 horsepower would. The latest B was 24 horsepower
Is he essentially terracing?
Just testing out the plow and having some fun with it.
Stop and tighten your clutch
I have 200 acres that need to be plowed. How long will it going to take you?
Good question, I think I would pick a bigger tractor and plow.
One row at time!
DI maidi bom 😊
Do you do Conventional Farming? I truly like that best. Hate gmo
Welcome to the 60s
Oh how dangerous those old tractors must have been….
1: no fenders
2: open spinning things
3: no seat belts
4: no sound proofing
5: no emission systems
Oh how did we ever survive?
I guess that only the smart ones did!!
👍👏🙋♂️🍀🌈🌞💚
Open them shutters up.
He just messed up for no tilling next spring.
We no-till beans but not corn. That field would have been cutivated regardless.
need to work a little on skills, but you'll get it
You don't have to drive your tractor at full throttle
First time plowing
@@RuralMidwest great great job you were doing,, for your first time plowing your model B tractor,,, back in 1967,, my first tractor that I plowed was a 1952 model B,,,at age 9... that started me to love all JOHN DEERE tractors.... thank for the video....
@@albertwilliams8919 Much Appreciated, glad to keep them still going
Hii
Hello
Gona burn up your clutch
Driveshaft failed before the clutch did. stripped it right out.
None were made in 1943
Serial number shows 1943
Your response is neither needed nor requested.
Iuuh
There's so much wrong going on here I don't even know where to begin. Sell that poor little thing.
