Interesting series. I just picked up a 1937 John Deere A myself and I'm hoping to look at the reduction gear bearing in the 4 speed rear. Thanks for the information!
Just want to say I really appreciate your comment. I started doing these videos a few years ago to try and help others and learn myself. I always feel better hearing that I'm in fact helping in some way. Thanks for taking the time to comment and ask questions.
It is. It took some thought, too, because it had to be positioned just right to miss the oil filter head and the crankshaft. To put the cover back on you have to get it lined up just right. Thanks for watching.
As you pointed out the repair patch on the “A” hood, people never took the time to tare down everything to get to the muffler. So they just tore up on the corners to get a socket on the bolts. I got a radiator hole from a junkyard and patched it in my “A”, and it looks great, AND is big enough to slip a socket by to get to the muffler bolts….something they should have done from the factory
I took the belt pulley off my 1936 AO to get to the bearing and the bushing. And there's a Bellevue spring that fell out with the bearing. It was either in front of the bearing or behind the bearing and I assume the Bellevue faces out.
I didn't. Not sure if that is an issue on this model or year. It's mostly B's that have that issue. I also knew it wasn't my problem for this tractor because I had coolant in the cylinder, not the oil. A hole in the tubes will put coolant in the oil while a crack in the head or head gasket will get coolant in the cylinder.
@hankrotering6961 interesting! Now I know that's a thing on this tractor too. Well, it's all back together now so it is what it is until something happens again. Thanks for asking and letting me know.
Appreciate the videos! Question: in the valve cover oil trough, are there holes in the trough for the oil to drop or does it come out another way? I have a 36 A with same setup however it is very dirty and I can’t tell how is should be. Thanks for the help!
I'm missing my coolant drain cap underneath the engine. 1938 AO and I was wondering if you knew the size and thread type of that or is it just a 1/2 inch pipe plug. Working on the thing out in the field 20 miles away always seem to forget something.
Any idea what would make my steering all the sudden extremely hard to turn even while moving - it was easy and the wheel got turned all the way one way and maybe had some forward pressure put on it - I need it to steer easy again. I’m 63 and 5ft3 thank you for any info you can help me With
My guess is the teeth on the steering sector are broken or deformed of they got pressure like that. Check out part 9 of my G series at the link below where I talked about the pieces inside that pedestal. They are the same (other than size) regardless of model (A, B, G, H, etc). Let me know if you have any other questions or even what you find! ruclips.net/video/m367O_-tUcM/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Sure. Did you see the 1 month update a while back? I thought about another video but I really don't have anything new to say from that video. It's working great, using less wood than his old stove, and we have had absolutely no issues or concerns with it. Is there anything you want to see imparticular?

I learn something new each time I watch your videos Dan, good job! A++

That dipstick is pretty cool

I think it is just a washer. According to the parts manual, it goes behind the bearing (closest to the center of the tractor).
Thumbs Up!!
Did you inspect the push rod tubes in the head?
I didn't. Not sure if that is an issue on this model or year. It's mostly B's that have that issue. I also knew it wasn't my problem for this tractor because I had coolant in the cylinder, not the oil.

@@DanielFarmChannel I just did a head gasket on my 39 A, both tubes were bad. Thats why I was wondering

Thanks for watching! Yes, I believe there are 3 holes, maybe 4. I have used wire to clean it out or the pipe cleaners used in kids crafts.
Thank you for your help sir!

Parts book didn't say. According to what I found online and listed on Steiner, it is a 3/4 NPT
What type of seat is that my 44 A has a pan seat
Yes,. I can't wait to get rid of it. It is a custom seat someone put on. I have the correct 9 hole pan seat but I haven't painted it yet.
Ok

Could you do another video of your in-law crown royal stove I just ordered a mp 7300
Sure. Did you see the 1 month update a while back? I thought about another video but I really don't have anything new to say from that video. It's working great, using less wood than his old stove, and we have had absolutely no issues or concerns with it. Is there anything you want to see imparticular?
Yes I seen that video just by looking at pictures how can you tell were the water level is
@Jason Survance there is a float on top Werth a pointer that shows a range from full to about 5 gallon low.
