That is very sweet. I love the old vehicles and farm equipment. They don’t make them like they used to. Fancy tractors are nice but the good old days of the old style tractors is something you can’t beat
This brings back old memories!!when i was a kid, an old farmer had one just like it!! I used to ride and hold on bejind the seat while we traveled to his farm a few miles away.i loved watching how that beast plowed the land and ran a big water pump using a huge belt conected to the tractor an pump to pump water from the river.old times!!!
Another example of what made America great. There's 1000's of these old Tractors out there still running. Can't say so much for other things current or that era. Great testament to American engineering of that era. Built to last.
Other things of that era still last as well. I restore old radios and like anything else they need maintenance to keep operating. Tubes seldom go bad, but resistors and capacitors sure will after that long. Ever turn on a really old radio and all you hear is a loud hum? Replace the old electrolytic caps and the other caps and 9 times out of ten it'll sound just like new.
Stuff like this was built to last out of necessity, if everyone had to buy a new tractor every 2 or even 10 years the factory wouldn't have been able to make enough of them, as each part was generally hand fabricated, also as a result of the amount of effort per unit you will generally see the elegant designs that every product had.
Many old John Deere tractors like this one, in PA. Most in the same condition. Most all still run good. I asked a farmer if parts were still available and he told me parts were no problem.
Thanks for the suggestion. I normally do, but when it's cold like this I like to let it warm up a little before I put a little load on the engine. The bushing in there is original and Ill be surprised if there is much bushing left. As soon as I'm done putting the 350 back together the a will get a top to bottom resto
Looks exactly like the John Deere tractor my grandaddy had. Loved to hear him start it . papapapapapapapa,... He'd hitch a wooden wagon to it and we go back in the woods down a path for a ride. Sometimes we would go down a big field.
Same here speaking on the behaf of my husband that his grandparents had and he acquired it in a living will that a few years ago our tractor got stolen with serial number 606008 only thing is it never had a single N tire in the front it had rollamatic front end
This model 'A' either is ready for total restoration, or leave it as is, but protect it in a nice clan barn as an all original '48-A. Nice Tractor for sure!
I started to restore this but was unable to complete before I had to leave for the military. You can see my other videos of the progress I made during the restoration. It was indeed very much wore out by any standard
We never had a problem getting our starter to engage because the battery was always dead and I was the starter, LOL. Ours was an older model without the guard around the flywheel and the petcock valves weren't behind that frame like on yours. I just gave it full choke, hand cranked it until I saw gas shooting out the petcocks, pushed the choke halfway in and on the next compression stroke it'd fire right up.
I noticed it has a stamped frame,my 1946 B has a solid one with no electric starter,any ways your A sounds like it has many more years left in it,long live old John 👍
Cool video. I have a 1949 model A, so pretty much the same tractor. Mine used to have difficult starts from a worn out starter gear too as many of the teeth were worn off. You don't have to buy a whole new ring gear like I did, just sweat the old one off the flywheel with a torch, flip it around and put it back on so you can use 'both sides' of it and it will start like the tractor was made yesterday. I still use my old A around the farm, they just don't make them like they used too... great tractors! Good luck!!

nice cold start. I am the one you emailed on the JD G 3spd hi/low. shifter does not look like this one on your A, its square and not 6 speeds in the pattern.
if you had to hand crank one of these you took the steering wheel off and put an adapter in it and popped the access plate on the flywheel cover to crank the engine by hand.
They were. Starting it without them is a tradeoff. The starter was weak so opening let it spin over faster, but the compression was so bad that I sacrifice compression
I don't have it handy, but I do have a video of plowing at night with this tractor and you can hear it work. This muffler has been on there since 2007, the previous one was busted off

great old machine! The old JDs were fine tractors. Thanks for posting this. Mike.
You have treasure man.
After 50 years this will be become valuable investment for you as this will become antique piece.

the germans with their lanz bulldog would like to have a chat with you americans about longevity
I'm an Oliver man, though that old Poppin' Johnny has such a delightful sound that's hard not to love.
Thanks. The old girl is tired, but by the time I'm done it'll be new inside and out
Hello
Awesome starting and running sound.
I like "As Is" tractors. Gives them character
Oh God! I thought it as scrap....Hv to restore it....John deere rocks!💪✌👍
Just the sound takes me back to my childhood............🏁🏁🏁
Same here, lol. We had a '39 A and a '41 H. :)
Same here, back in the 60s I worked for farmers who had those old two cyl JDs I can still here the sound of one pulling a heavy load up a grade.
Many old John Deere tractors like this one, in PA. Most in the same condition. Most all still run good. I asked a farmer if parts were still available and he told me parts were no problem.
I pull with a 48 a in pa!!
love the idle...nice machine

It's a joy! I am very fan of John Deere
Old is gold, superb

Man I can't wait to hear my g popping along. Waiting on distributor parts right now.
I can remember a year ago waiting for my distributor parts to arrive
that's a awsome john Deere tractor
Reminds me of an old school welding machine. 👌👌 bulletproof blocks
Nice AN, my grandfather had one almost exactly like it.
very cool. My grandpa has a Model A and Model G he said he'd will to me. I love old tractors. This sounds exactly like his.
Mangos mouth ing e16
Great Video., JD A and a Dodge pickup in the one vid. Don't get no better!!!!!
In the early 90s my neighbor used to start his JD B at -30F by pouring boiling water on the carb. Now that's really a cold start.

That's a shame ( the Tractor I mean ) but your Country is thankful for your service. I 'salute' both of your efforts.
Cheers!
Old is gold...
That’s really smart to use coffe cans for rain. I will have to use that with ours

Rebel9668 i just got a B and it's the same way, no guard over anything as it's a 1941 or 42 model and the late style wasn't until 47 or 48 i believe
Old is gold
Yeah I love when a starter acts up in a video.haha Nice JD and startup
I noticed it has a stamped frame,my 1946 B has a solid one with no electric starter,any ways your A sounds like it has many more years left in it,long live old John 👍
nice a i like the a,s

Good work
Good old girl.
Nice runner. would be a good candidate for a restoration.
Re
... HI
@MichaelTJD60 Thanks, This needs a lot of work, but someday it will look nice again
Delicious sound at 2:05
We have a Huber model L and I have to agree they don’t make them like they use to!
Hej from 2:04 the part of starting the jd sounds like a poland tractor ursus 330
Nice old tractor
@Northernstar9370 Thanks mike! this old girl is worn out and tired, but someday she's getting a rebuild and makeover.
My dad had a John Deere B and we had to spin the fly wheel to start it and the only time we opened the petcock was in the winter
Man evaluation best example by johndeere
after I got mine all cleaned up, I used a loctite loose bearing fit gel and put it on the splines...haven't had it slip yet...
she sounds good
Yeah į like those traktors

It seems all JohnDeere model A tractors have their own sound, mine's a 46' and man you talk about a nice tractor.
Nice
pull the flywheel first and clean the splines then get the gap in the seal ring lined up...
nice cold start. I am the one you emailed on the JD G 3spd hi/low. shifter does not look like this one on your A, its square and not 6 speeds in the pattern.
If you use a tin can on the exhaust you can put it without waiting for the thing to cool down.
@MRcubcadet107 I like them all buddy
@reeseholler92 good choice i agree!im just mostly ih tho
Que legal muito bom
nice
what do u like better jd or IH?
John Deere is good Tractor for agricultural n commercial...I use Massey Ferguson n make Video of both companies In agricultural n farm also
i like
You need to spin up the flat belt pulley when not driving the tractor. Otherwise you will burn out the bearing from lack of lubrication
Shes ready put cultivators on go till dark.
if you had to hand crank one of these you took the steering wheel off and put an adapter in it and popped the access plate on the flywheel cover to crank the engine by hand.
Good
MAKE SURE you line up the timing mark and also mark the flywheel and shaft before you remove the flywheel
Hilary Brust
kya baat hai
as the flywheel slips on the splines (away from the crankcase), the starter teeth no longer engage the ring gear.
Chala kar dikhao
I would have had to drive it around a little.tks
that ear busting noise must mean that you need to check the starter belt
Hey I like that old-school John Deere tractor 1948 it is a huge tractor :-) ?
Nice wold tracckter
wah jondiyar
Is this tractor a model an
They don't build em like they used to.
iceking123kitty xnx
Oh No! That thing is such a gross polluter! You should run it DAILY!
I've seen a lot of these, but I've never seen anyone use the second lever under the throttle. What does it do?
Controls radiator shutters. Open or closed depending on weather/temperature
what is the engine setup like? parallel twin?
Jake Stockinger yes
Were those compression release valves on the bottom that you opened and then closed after you started it?
They were. Starting it without them is a tradeoff. The starter was weak so opening let it spin over faster, but the compression was so bad that I sacrifice compression
La marca lo dice todo de a verdad
Maybe add a little height to the stacks, top with a flapper (?) A little tlc, telling you that it's still got a little chicken left on them bones. XD
No computers on this one :)
2 cylinder glory
that is what my tractor looks like

Bad tractor
Wow nice, which model tractor this? I mean year

Mi padre tenía un jondere. G. Se arrancaba a mano. Del volante. Yo araba con mis 14 sños
Nice old tractor.clicks em rite off. Would like to hear it work a bit.is that origional muffler.
I don't have it handy, but I do have a video of plowing at night with this tractor and you can hear it work. This muffler has been on there since 2007, the previous one was busted off
Cuantos cilindro tiene ese tractor

nice running old A you dont have a fan belt or generator on this one ?? great video
You call it the old a to I thought me and my dad were the only ones that say that
Looks like the generator is missing... what kind of charging system do you have on it currently?
I have a one wire alternator on it currently, but retained all of the original charging equipment to put back on
I.like tarctor is
Too easy with the electric start.... my 39 g will cold start easy... all about timing..
That thing has seen better days......
Freakin lawnmower g
i have a A with the rollamatic front end ..there a good tractor ..little bad on gas tho .like the B i have alot better
