Dad had an MC for many years, I owned a 440 IC with a Henry loader for a while. Worked on/used a 40 in Alaska for a few years. Basically all the same size, engine, transmission (according to year built). Great for doing those little jobs a big operator doesn't want to touch. 440 had a reverser, and was built a little more rugged, with full frame support of the engine. You could pull the engine and radiator as a package, which was handy when it came time to replace the main clutch. Steering clutches/brakes were probably the most problematic among all of them. I suspect yours are stuck together from the years of sitting... make sure all linkages are free and the throwout bearing is moving, then try a day of start/stop with the handles pulled back, the clutch disks may un-stick from each other any allow you to steer it again. Good Luck with 'er. She'll push all day for years, but don't get rough, you can 1st strip gear with that little engine ... and parts were d@mn expensive 25 years ago, I'd hate to see the prices now!
They are the BEST. God, the sound, the smell, the way they vibrate... takes me straight back to Mississippi and my childhood. Then let's talk about the way they PULL! One of my dads older brothers (out of the 16 total children) somehow lost his seat on my Grandpa's, at the time basically brand new John Deere G, (2 cylinder horizontal, crown facing front for those of you who don't know). Double jug engine with pistons the size of gallon coffee cans damn near....Anyways, my uncle either starts it in gear or falls off but that sumbitch come up the hill from the barn, across the yard and whatever else it wanted, and hit the ONLY tree in my Grandpa's yard.... an old (but not THAT old for oak) tired oak, about 2 feet or better on the stump my dad said.... That G proceeded to bear down, tires spinning and digging and push that tree over and into my Grandma's laundry shed!! This tree was living, not thriving, but fully living... all in the less than 4 minutes it was ghost riding. If it's a lie.... at least 12 of my aunts and uncles told it to me!..... Torque for DAYS, MONTHS, YEARS!....In them ol John Deere's.
LUCKY always wanted to operate anything bigger than a D-7. Had a blast with a D-5 swamp cat in Citrus Co. Fl. Also operated a 450JD dozer almost every day
It never fails to bring satisfaction to me when I see and Old bit of machinery come back to life. Take her back to the shed now boys, give her a good clean down, change the fluids and filters, grease all the grease points and then go move some earth. Well done, great video
I rebuilt one ofvthise engines back in the 80's and was amazed at it's torque,had a ground speed governer, that just kept the engine pushing no matter what the blade was up against.
Old school trick for frozen M, 40, 420 steering clutches. Fill the clutch housings with diesel and let sit for a week, then try to work free. After draining housings they will be slippy until they dry out again. BTW, be careful to avoid popping the clutch or you may strip the splines on the transmission input shaft. Our JD MC is still being used occasionally by a neighbour that bought it from us.
The dual fuel spark ignition tractors started on gasoline but ran on something akin to paraffin once hot. The fuel was called Tractor Vaporising Oil (TVO) in the UK my father had a Farmall A with that system
Here in the states, it was known as distillate fuel. The engine had to be set up to run it, using low compression, like 4.5 to 1 to maybe 5 to 1 CR. You start it on gas, get it up to operating temp of 190 or so, then switch to the distillate, much like kerosene of today, but it was cheaper than gas back then. When you got ready to shut it down, you had to switch back over to gas and run all the distillate out, in order to be able to start it up "cold" the next time. IH made an MD Farmall from 1941 to 1952, that was a diesel engine, but started on gas. That was way different than an "all fuel" engine that ran on TVO
I had an old model A when I was young and I used to start it on gas and then switch to plain old kerosene. Ran great on that only you needed to run it out of the carb because there was no way you'd get it started on herosene.
I struggle with sediment bowls myself… I have my grandfather’s 1953 John Deere 40V farm tractor, it sat for a long while and the barn was falling down on top of it. Got it running, new tires etc, now lives a life of leisure with the occasional work out just to stay in shape. Thanks for sharing.
I agree absolutely 💯 %. It's the dedication, ability and determination. Diesel engines as long as everything is covered, plugged up (prevention) basically prepared for a long sitting, then they will start as long as wiring, starter are good, then it will start.
ABSOLOUTELY, UNBEATABLE..... A TRACTOR TODAY... parked 20 years... would have "plastic decomposition," and "computer rot." And a 3,000 dollar part it needed, ..... just to start. Oh and a 30 dollar jug of DEF!
In the "old" days you used a 2 cylinder gasoline engine to warm the coolant and crank the diesel over until it was running. Once the diesel was running you turned the gasoline off and let the carburetor run dry. The gasoline was NOT a part of the diesel fuel supply. Only the coolant was shared, fuel and oil were physically separated.
That was absolutely a great job! Like people, you can't judge by looks, I didn't think it would run when it didn't seem to even turn over! Fantastic job guys!
Ah man!!! Hearing that 2 cylinder John Deere running is awesome!!! My grandfather had a John Deere model MT tractor, probably with the same engine. Brought back real great memories! Awesome machine!
I'll never understand people who let a perfectly good running machine sit and rot in a swamp or field. Anyway, good job getting it going again. I hope it's cared for in the future!!
Often covering them with a tarp leaves them in far worse condition than sitting out. The tarp will trap moisture, rot rubber and be a natural habitat for critters. Most often they break down, have been replaced by a newer machine and the good intentions of the owner to get back to repairing it becomes overcome by events with a higher priority. The great thing is most of these machines are so basic they come right back to life. 20 years later, a few hours work and a 70 year old machine is pushing yardage again 😂
Try that if it had been a current model….a heap of circuit boards and thousands of dollars. That’s why these bullet proof old tractors are incredible. Great job.😁👍🏻🇦🇺
Im retired operator i wouldn't trade old machines for teo new one they're nice with ac have had plenty youngsters that couldn't operate older machine they'd say there's to many levers id tell them to try standard shift tractors lmbo
My grandfather bought one of these used, I think his may have actually been a 420. It was the first machine my dad operated in the late 1950s. I've always wanted one. Love the pop pop!
I had a friend that had a 1944 John Deere Crawler that was slower than a snail, but it was as strong as about ten oxen. The plow setup on the back make pulling old T-posts out of the ground a whole lot easier than doing it by hand.
Man, I haven't worked with a set of points since the early 90's. So easy to work with and now we have all the sensor's we need and the cars that use them don't last near as long as the cars that used points... amazing. Best "will it start" video I have seen in a long time.. HOOAH!!!
For information. I used to run a Massey tractor in England back in the sixties that was a petrol / TVO machine. Coming back to American it ran on gasoline to start and then manually turned over to Tractor Vapourising oil, which you would know here as kerosene. The machine ran very well but at the end of the day you had to remember to turn it back to TVO before shutting off so that the carburetor was full of gas for the next start. I am not aware of any that ran on gasoline and diesel, I doubt that would work. The TVO worked because the heat from the engine warmed the TVO when the engine was running and this heated oil was thin enough to combust in the hot engine. The machine had a divided tank, a large section for the TVO and a smaller section for gasoline.
Your steering clutches are rusted - tie both steering clutch levers back and then just bang the main clutch back and forth- that will usually free up the steering clutches
Great video, and as for the tractors that would start on gas and switch to another fuel, it was kerosene not diesel although they're very similar. Great content once again!
Kerosene and diesel are very similar and on some tractors you could use either one. My friend had a Farmall that would start on gas and run on diesel. Diesel No2 is a common fuel these days but they used to use diesel No1 which is more similar to kerosene.
Old Deere's are unbreakable. I know well 444 and 310 ... And both still alive, working like first day (310 had start a problem with reverse gear last year, an hidraulic valve, i supose), are great machines. Un saludo desde España 🙂.
Great shot as it pushed its way out of the brush! On our agricultural 40 (green), it was a test of being old enough to drive if we could actually find 1st gear. I'll be surprised if the rubber seal on the gearshift was good enough to keep out water for all those years.
That's a good way to test... I guess I am not old enough! We have been planning this video for a while, the idea stemmed from the dozer actually clearing its way out!
In the UK non diesel small tractors started up on petrol (gas) and when warm switched over to TVO (tractor vaporising oil) as a cheaper fuel. TVO was similar to paraffin (kerosene).
Great little 'dozer to find. I'd love to find one of those. I did have the 'agricultural' one like this, it was a John Deere 1010 and it had the original John Deere farm tractor green color. I wish now, that I had kept it. ( We always wish like this, don't we? ) I'd like to see this one you have, restored to its original glory. ( if, of course, you win the lottery )
I have faith, this awesome dude will do his Grandads Johnny some justice. I think 90% of the viewers could care less about a factory new restoration of the machine and in fact that's really never what I want to see or have happen with tractor and equipment rebuilds and recoverys....For one reason only.... once you sell your left testicle to just be able to afford the restoration...... Whoop. a baby comes,and if not,.... you're still giving the dishwasher a creampie platter everyday before even worrying about her schedulehas to work. Look buddy... we just want to see the John Deere FULLY WORKING and being used. (That's me anyway... especially wktn you cheer eoll and restore it to factory level, it's never going going allergies... used hard again. Its like being married to a model you can't bang, and it becomes aIt's a GIANT GREEN (IN MY OPINION.) Art piece and mechanical promets 100;.
John deere 1010's didn't come in green. They were yellow originally and they are newer than the 40. They were built from 1960-65, until they were replaced by the 350
@@andybayliss2020 Sorry Andy, then I must have been colour blind, because the 1010 tractor I had was most assuredly GREEN. Now, maybe in other countries they were only available in yelllow etc. but here in Canada, at least the part of Canada I live in, we had Green for agricultural models and Yellow for construction use.
The diesel/gas mix you were talking about was probably a gas pony motor that basically served as a starter for the main diesel. Once the pony got the diesel spinning , a lever would close off the system giving compression in the main allowing it to start and run the machine.
Wow what a nice one ! Imagine it with a little clean up and few parts repaint. Engine clean, a bit of maintenance, and get it home for help wife in the garden with flowers 💐 🤪😁😁😁
Dang I love that Dozer! I got one very similar to it running again after sitting for the same amount of time. It was a blast to operate. Wouldn't mind owning or finding one today..
Those engines start very easy. if it doesn't start you have a problem. NEVER either them. You will destroy the engine. Your steering clutches are stuck. There is a stack of clutch discs made up of metal and fiber discs alternately. The metal ones are most likely rusted and stuck to the fiber ones. There is a set on each side. When you pull back the clutches start slipping letting you steer a long arc. Pull harder and a brake band around the outside tightens and you swing a tight hard corner. Growing up we a 40 and a 440. I spent quite a few hours wrenching and maintaining them. We had books to help us. Try find to manuals for it. Will help you alot.
Such a cool dozer, there is a lever at the base of the shifter on the left side could that be a lock for the tracks for straight pushing and thats why no steering out of the control arms
..the torque it has. I dragged a cut down tree that was the size of a small mini van and it pulled it to the burn 🔥 pile no problem until the chain snapped.
I had a john degree that had two fuel tanks one for gas one for diesel started on gas ran on diesel after it warmed up you would switch over to the diesel tank. Wish I had it now. I was only 13 or 14 when I bought it.
I thought your starting problem might have been due to low compression. I’ve never seen an engine that would “coast” to a stop when you let off of the starter. However, once you got the spark going, it started fine and when you got it moving, it was pushing a full blade of dirt so the compression must be “enough “. Cool little machine and a good video. 🥸👍🔧💥❗️✅
Years ago some of the big dozers and track loaders used a separate two cylinder gasoline pony engine to start the big diesel engine. Gasoline engines were used in place of an electric starter that would be used on big tractors later on. Years ago some of the agricultural tractors had a combination gasoline and diesel engine. Set up the engine to start out on gasoline and once the engine was warmed up you switch a lever and it would change the compression ratio and twitch it over to diesel fuel instead of gas and it would run on diesel until you turn it off.
If I owned it I would had sand blasted it and repainted it. Very nice old antique. How it was treated brings tears to my eyes.😢 Tip: put a stainless steel can over the exhaust to prevent rain water from getting in to it.
Cut my teeth on a 1953 model 40 John Deere row crop tractor. Love to hear the popping John’s running. Takes me back to the middle 70’s when I was a kid. 👊👊
I collect JD crawlers .Have many restored units .They are a great machine.Bottom parts are getting hard to find .It will need steering clutchs for sure!
That’s awesome. Where did you get your parts from? I already talked to Lavoy at JD Crawlers, he seems like a real good resource. I’ll keep you in mind if I have questions!
An Allis Chalmers model M is dual fuel capable. The original manual discusses running it on gasoline or kerosene or what they call "low grade fuel". I use mine for pushing snow or tugging out an occasional tree so I just run it on gas.
Good job guys! , you have succeeded in reviving the soul of this John Deere after twenty years of inactivity .👍..I really liked the little shovel of this tractor 🙂
Does anyone else love these two cylinder John Deeres??

Shame it was left outside so long given it is obviously a reliable machine.
Dang I love that Dozer! I got one very similar to it running again after sitting for the same amount of time. It was a blast to operate. Wouldn't mind owning or finding one today..
Yeah it’s so cool
Meus parabéns
Por trazer de volta a vida mais um guerreiro
Se for fazer a reforma
Posta vídeo dele aí
My grandfather owned one of these when I was little. It came in handy when it snowed.
Those little JD LI engines were good, not much power though the laydown piston A and B engine had more torque.
Those engines start very easy. if it doesn't start you have a problem. NEVER either them. You will destroy the engine. Your steering clutches are stuck. There is a stack of clutch discs made up of metal and fiber discs alternately. The metal ones are most likely rusted and stuck to the fiber ones. There is a set on each side. When you pull back the clutches start slipping letting you steer a long arc. Pull harder and a brake band around the outside tightens and you swing a tight hard corner. Growing up we a 40 and a 440. I spent quite a few hours wrenching and maintaining them. We had books to help us. Try find to manuals for it. Will help you alot.
It’s amazing. I would love to have a machine just like that
as a matter of fact i am looking for a crawler to do land scaping
Such a cool dozer, there is a lever at the base of the shifter on the left side could that be a lock for the tracks for straight pushing and thats why no steering out of the control arms
What a great 'find'!
I'd like to see you restore this to it's original glory, that is of course, if you win the lottery!
I have a 1954 John Deere model 60 two cylinder tractor. I love the sound, the talk and the vibrations when it runs
..the torque it has. I dragged a cut down tree that was the size of a small mini van and it pulled it to the burn 🔥 pile no problem until the chain snapped.
I want a model 80 diesel soooo bad
I had a john degree that had two fuel tanks one for gas one for diesel started on gas ran on diesel after it warmed up you would switch over to the diesel tank. Wish I had it now. I was only 13 or 14 when I bought it.
Can't spell deere lol
I thought your starting problem might have been due to low compression. I’ve never seen an engine that would “coast” to a stop when you let off of the starter. However, once you got the spark going, it started fine and when you got it moving, it was pushing a full blade of dirt so the compression must be “enough “. Cool little machine and a good video. 🥸👍🔧💥❗️✅
The flywheel is like 3” thick… once you get it spinning it doesn’t stop 🤣
I don't think the plugs were in it
I just started working on a JD 40t. Same engine. Awesome stuff!
That’s a awesome little dozer! Wish I had one like it.
Years ago some of the big dozers and track loaders used a separate two cylinder gasoline pony engine to start the big diesel engine. Gasoline engines were used in place of an electric starter that would be used on big tractors later on.
Years ago some of the agricultural tractors had a combination gasoline and diesel engine.
Set up the engine to start out on gasoline and once the engine was warmed up you switch a lever and it would change the compression ratio and twitch it over to diesel fuel instead of gas and it would run on diesel until you turn it off.
Отличная работа! Привет из России!
Gosto muito desses vídeos, resgatando maquinas que por tempos estavam paradas
I think this is the definition of “ they don’t make them like that no more”
She was just resting. She knew you would be back.♥️👍🏼
Nossa é um presente poder dar a partida nessa coisinha fofa, amo esse tipo de aventura
Well done guys. Fascinating that such an old device is still running after such a long time. Try that with a modern device in 40 years.
Thanks! Yeah its amazing isn't it...
As I understand that John Deere still make parts for this unit. Just check with your dealer.
Some parts .The bottom parts are getting hard to find now!
Would not have thought it would happen in the first few mins. Impressive.
Sometimes you get lucky sometimes you have a case 450B with tar in the lines 🤷🏻♂️
Dobra robota🦊
If I owned it I would had sand blasted it and repainted it.
Very nice old antique.
How it was treated brings tears to my eyes.😢
Tip: put a stainless steel can over the exhaust to prevent rain water from getting in to it.
É como uma ressurreição. Maravilhoso!
i used to drive one of those, Those old Johhny tractors have a lot of grunt, for two cylinders
Incrível 👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Incrível como pode um trator de esteira abandonado talvez a mto anos funcionar....vcs são incríveis e desafiadores....parabéns.....
Muito bom
Cut my teeth on a 1953 model 40 John Deere row crop tractor. Love to hear the popping John’s running. Takes me back to the middle 70’s when I was a kid. 👊👊
This thing was 20 years old in the 70s, wild
Muito legal!
Lovely little machine, how does the blade lift..?
It has a little crank arm right by the pivot of the blade
What a great little dozer, just need to get that dozer fixed up :)
You got that right! Soon!
He's plowing dirt, good job.
I collect JD crawlers .Have many restored units .They are a great machine.Bottom parts are getting hard to find .It will need steering clutchs for sure!
That’s awesome. Where did you get your parts from? I already talked to Lavoy at JD Crawlers, he seems like a real good resource. I’ll keep you in mind if I have questions!
An awesome little machine. It deserves some TLC. Treat 'er right and you can teach your Grandkids to drive it.
When it crawled, absolutely wow
Yes love those two cylinder John Deers. Grew up on am M T.
An Allis Chalmers model M is dual fuel capable. The original manual discusses running it on gasoline or kerosene or what they call "low grade fuel". I use mine for pushing snow or tugging out an occasional tree so I just run it on gas.
Сколько лет трудяга отдыхал, и тут вы его разбудили , и он показал на что способен. 👍😉
so cool fired right up ...awesome!!!
Какие же Вы Молодцы !!! Оживили трактор , он ещё поработает !!!
Amazing that it would start without major work, and amazing that the owner would just park a useful machine in the woods.
We had a 1956 Jd 320 my late grandfather had, just got that going last year after sitting for about 12 years. Has a similar motor to that 40
i learned to drive on an MC 50 1950 John Deere, a memorable machine, Glengarry, Ontario, Canada
Thank you
And keep it forever !
Good job guys! , you have succeeded in reviving the soul of this John Deere after twenty years of inactivity .👍..I really liked the little shovel of this tractor 🙂
Thanks 👍
