John Deere A Hauling Grain | Winter Wheat
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- In the past few days we have been working on harvesting our winter wheat, here in Northeast Wisconsin. The weather has been a challenge for harvesting, but we're getting at it!
We are temporarily storing the grain ourselves, so we put the old 1948 John Deere A to work pulling a gravity box around. The A likes to bark when the wagon is loaded all the way!
Also being used is a Case IH 1620 combine and a Ficklin 231 gravity wagon.
*Pardon the jerky footage, but it's hard to film, steer, shift, and work a hand clutch at the same time!

Oh yes, the gravity flow wagons! We shoveled corn off a flat bed wagon for some time before dad got those wonderful Little Giant gravity flow wagons. Then dad got a bigger aluminum elevator with a swing down. We were really cooking then!
We had John Deeres, Massey Furgisons and Fords and International Harversters, but the neighbors had all John Deeres and some of their fields were past our house, so on the way to their fields, we literately had convoys of poppin Johnies parading by!
I now wish I had recorded it, but that was the days before internet and video cameras!
The sounds of a simpler time. (SIGH)
Indeed.
A’s and 60 sounded beautiful under load.
It is a great sound!
Thanks for taking me along for a ride. I enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks for coming along 🙂
Bet you have never heard this before: “That is one especially fine looking “A” you have there”!
well done! The Jonny is in a very good condition!
Thanks! Love working with that A.
Love seeing old tractors doing work like they were meant to do, follow the maintenance schedule, and keep them out of the weather and they rarely ever have problems.
Yep!
I could listen to that all day
There's no mistaking the sound of those old John Deere tractors.
Indeed!
Engine: POP CHUG POP person: thats a farmall other person: no thats a deere moron
I love these old 2 cylinder tractors. That's why I bought my 1951 John Deere B
I have a 1950 A. Yours is very very nice thanks for posting. Mine is in great shape just needs paint but I use it all the time
Yeah it's great to keep these old tractors at work yet and running! This one is a 1948 model.
thanks for posting. My Grandpa had a jd h. nice video. wish I could help you with harvest.
Yeah that's cool your grandpa had an H. I don't think I ever seen one around here.
My grandfather had a model A. When I was 5 or 6 he let me drive it around, I also remember being a bit intimidated with its size compared to the AC WD tractor my dad had.
When I graduated to combine duty, dad had to teach me how to tie the sacks shut ( I'm left handed ) and everyone knew the bags I had done when they went to open them. lol
Yeah there was some size difference! My grandpa also had an A for a lot of his farming years as well as a few Allis-Chalmers.
Did you know that when you don't engage the clutch lever it will create wear on the splines of the crank shaft on the clutch side.just want to let you know.really like your videos.
Yeah I heard about that. If I think of it I engage it in neutral, but I need to remember more!
Thanks for watching!
Josh St.john Yes. Also wears out the clutch release bearing. Eventually the clutch can start engaging on its own.
Josh St.john thanks for the info. I bought a B, a year ago and did not know that about the clutch. Now I do. 😉👍🏼
I like the sound of this old John Deere.Good video.
Thanks, love the sound of that A!
Nice clean farm. God bless
Thanks, and God bless!
What a wonderful looking and sounding old poppin Johnny.
It's always fun to get it working on the farm!
I never got to run a John Deere we only had case and massy Harris, McCormick Deering.
I used to operate a Farmall H on baling and snow plowing in winter, front end loader for manure, small case on the rake.
There nothing like a old jd runing we had two old 70 wish I still had them
u making that ole girl work
She likes to work though! :)
Grandad had his 1944 fixed up since we need a bushogger and light haul tractor. I will have a fresh video of it bushogging in a couple days.
Nice! I'll have to watch for it!
With the engine running and in neutral be sure to engage the clutch so you don’t get premature wear on the clutch bearing.
Yeah, we try to do that when we remember. Thanks for watching 🙂
So good to see that old late model doing its job. Sounds like a happy old girl.
She's happy 👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Love watching these old tractors my granddad had one but it was under a shelter that caught fire in 2010 but I plan on fixing it his was a 1952 A and even after the fire its still a good tractor just needs tender love and care i am trying to restore it and videos like this help motivate me even more!
Well hopefully you can get it fixed up and get it back to work!
My all time favorite job: hauling loads in from the field. F12, JD A,B, 50, 60, 70, F12, MMR, MMU whatever. It was fun and we got out of school to help.
Yeah it's something I love doing too. Especially when it's something (like this) and we can still use one of our old two-cylinders on it!
Awesome looking Deere!
in the 80's We had a JD 60 which I loved but when I was on grain or hay hauling duty I was in the IH 1486, granddad didn't trust the tractor weight of the 60 vs weight of the grain load on the steep hills.
Yeah I definitely wouldn't want to take it on any steep hills! Love working with those old two-cylinders yet though!
Geeez lol
A 60 vs 1486 a 1486 was horse
Got a farmall 450 I'm restoring rn and when I'm done it can't be outpulled by nothin in its weight class
I mean when the tractor is just sitting idling.we learned the hard way.
I've hauled a 275 UM wagon heaped with wheat with r farm all H. m she nevet missed a beat.....old tractors never die.....love the video
Those old tractors just keep going! I love to use them around the farm yet.
Thanks for watching!
Have u thought of getting a new combine? Like a 2166-2366?
We have been actually. This 1620 has been a pretty decent combine for us but she's getting older. We looked at 2166 at a dealer by us and that's quite a bit nicer!
Sound of the past!! Love it!! Will outlast these computed tractors!
Definitely!
My driving instructor was my Grandpa. My first ride was a 1937 model A "unstyled of course" . Love those old tractors!! No lights, no electric start. Simpler times. Now John Deere has law suits from farmers fighting for rights to computer software for self repair!! SOOO SAD.
Nice tractor I have a farmal h and jhon Deere 2010 and I'm 12
That's pretty cool man! Welcome to the antique tractor hobby!
kid gamer I have a John Deere B and i am 12 it need some work though the point need to be closed and the carb might need some work.
i liked the video that is a sweet model a i have a '51 model A its a factory AW it has a wide front end it is my favorite i have a stainless straight pipe on mine they do sound really good
Nice to have a factory wide front. Your A must have quite a pop also with the stainless pipe!
Love it!
Hey many, what county are you in? I see northeast WI. I'm in SE WI. Far west central edge of Waukesha County. The only rural part of Waukesha county left haha :(
We're up in mid-Oconto County, about thirty minutes north of Green Bay.
Oh ok cool. I drive through there quite often to head snowmobiling in Wabeno.
I am more of a John Deere B person. nice A though do you think that you could unload on the go?
You can unload on the go. A few years back I was pulling that wagon with the JD 50 and we were unloading on the go. As the wagon got fuller and fuller, the 50 would really start barking! You had to keep giving it gas lol.
Dad tells the story of when he was younger he was combining with a Gleaner and unloading on the go with grandpa driving the 50. The 50 ran out of gas while unloading and it made a mess!
that is one nice looking A we use to farm with them. one you had to start from fly wheel. we also used a 720 which my dad just gave me. but ill have to pay for it some way.he wont take any money.
I would like to pick up a flywheel start A or B or one day. Be something different!
the one we had was rough shape it actually was on steel wheels when my uncle bought it he cut the spokes and put rubber on it. i could start it when i was about 10 years old. the head cracked. the wheels were rusted out, so my dad gave it away. the other one he sold we should of kept that one
Did those fenders come from another tractor or that tractor just wondering
No, those are original fenders!
Be a big load for that A I should know that is the exact same tractor I have I have a 150 bushel wagon i pulled to town with corn that took a while
Nice tractor, & video!
Thanks!
Awesome video!
Thanks for watching 😀
Nice looking country and farm. All of your out building plus barn look exceptionally in well maintained condition! Thanks for the videos.
Thanks! We try to keep everything taken care of.
Yall have a good weekend and the good lord look after yall 😁
Push the clutch in when it is sitting there running
A John Deere A makes a good single gravity bed hauler. 200 bu. And they always did like a job. One of the best tractors ever produced by John Deere.
Yeah the A was kind of like the 4020 if its generation!
And like the 4020, there's a lot of them still going!
how many acres of wheat do you guys Farm
Not much at all, just under 30 acres.
Wonder if. my 1951 John Deere B would pull that wagon full
I bet it could. Our JD 50 hauls some heavy wagons sometimes.
@@farmgrowncountrystrong I just love that B. I got a buzzsaw for it for 150 dollars as well
Where did u buy those fenders?
The ones that are on our A are the original John Deere fenders, but you can get reproductions from several companies, like Jensales or AgKits.
I think that wheat was on my uncles old land
I think this field would have been owned by Jerry Whiting before us, and then Gillespie before that.
Which uncle was it?
And I meant Gilles, not Gillespie...lol
+Farm Grown, Country Strong on TH-cam . My Uncle bought it from Leo Gillis, before that it was a Schneider, who would of been an Uncle to George Schlosser, your dads uncle, Jerry Whiting was my uncle
+RJ 1999 It occurred to me that it would have been your grandmas uncle also, she is Georges sister
