Very little, I ended up moving, but hope to get it out this spring and finish up some stuff. I normally use john deere antifreeze, however this is a small enough engine I'd feel comfortable using automotive
@@Kerrage Perfect! Thanks for responding man! I have a 1955 John Deere 40 S. Just did an oil change on it and I think it could use a top up of coolant/antifreeze - so thanks for the information! 😎👍 Great video! Keep up the good work man! Hopefully you like your new place…? New subscriber here for sure!
@@Kerrage Sorry to bug you again... Do you happen to know how much antifreeze it takes from bone dry? (if I were to drain and replace the antifreeze that's in it? I've looked online and there's a few different numbers floating around... lol
@@howtobuildadream tractor data.com shows 14 qt, I don't know where my book is since I moved, but that site from past experiences seems to be fairly accurate, cant say it 100% correct but it's likely in the ballpark
@@brettroach3314 I had to get new rear rims on this guy and when searching I believe those were the easier ones to find, I think my dad has an identical one to yours
@@brettroach3314 how is your restoration project? I have a 53 model 40t just got the pistons out of mine been stuck for 26 years. Been looking for other videos of there restoring project.
@@seankiverchuk4627 haven't gotten the pistons out of it yet. I had to find a replacement block because the pitting in the bores of mine are too deep, and the new block was cheaper than sleeving the block.
I have the same tractor you need to put brake and clutch down to start it
How have you found parts availability for that tractor to be?
John deere dealers, eBay and steiner tractor parts
Great video! Did you do any more work to it since doing this video? What do you use for antifreeze in it?

Is this tractor for sale? If so, where is it located?
Nope it's not
