- 1947 John Deere B mowing grass hay with John Deere No. 8 cycle mower that my Grandpa bought in the early 1960s. Was an unusually dry summer so hay crop was pretty light.

I have a 1949 BN, N designates a single front tire. I've been across the Mackinac bridge 2 times with it. When I see some one looking at the tractor, I will put a load on the engine and make it bark, then watch them get a smile on their face.
Can't you just smell that smell of fresh cut grass, or hay
And the sound of the Johnny pop
Brings back fond memories of a wonderful simple life ❤️ 🙏God bless the Farmers (ANF)
AMERICA NEEDS FARMERS
The World Needs Farmers 😊
That “smell” never leaves you, I’m 61 and I still remember that smell. Hated getting up early on the weekends, when all my city friends got to sleep in. And have to climb on the Johnny popper when the dew was still on the grass. The “old” guys told me I’d miss this when I grew up, I laughed, but I do.
Thanks for reminding me how nice a live pto is
We I was a kid we had the same outfit. A b. And #7 mower.
I remember my 39 B serial number 69691. I really liked that tractor 😇🙏🎣
That’s how I got started...at age 9 on a B, 7’ sickle bar. Ours was unstyled and not electric start. We’d knock down 20 acres at a time. Invariably I’d kill it on a turn and I’d begin walking to where Dad was working to get him to restart it for me. I probably weighed 60 pounds and couldn’t come close to rolling the flywheel. That’s why it’s always been hard for me to answer when someone asks how long I’d been farming.
i am 72 and we had an H farm all brings back a lotof memories
Child labour starts early in murica
Now that's farming! brings back so many memories
The good old days which I could go back
Learned to drive on my dad's old B. I loved mowing hay with it. Nothing would turn a sharper corner in the hay field
Love the sound of those old twins!
Had 2 B's. 1936 and a 1938. Cut a lot of hay with them. Even ran the bailer a couple of years. First 2 years use a dump rake for wind rowing and put it up loose one summer.
ماشاء الله
سبحان الله وبحمده
سبحان الله العظيم
Mowed many thousand acrea with narrow front G and no 5 mower foot lift on the bar pulled dump rake behind mowing prairie hay had to be coordinated to run the foot lift and dump rake at the same time and use the hand clutch in emergency stop rock trip bar back. All happen same time. Broke narrow front of two times in badger hokes
Brings back memories of doing similar. Though I didn't have a PTO driven mower, I had a converted horse drawn mower... 1963 to 1973... Mowed about 360 acres each year.
Не ври дядя - в эти годы лошадей уже не было!
That's a LOT of mowing with a set up like that !!!! Wish I could give your comment 2 thumbs up.
Grew up driving one of these back in the 60s.
I work summers on a farm and I get to drive the nicest most modern equipment , but what I dream about is having my own small acreage and doing everything with old fashioned vintage equipment. An old johny popper is music to my ears. Don't get me wrong I enjoy air conditioning and a fridge under my seat with a killer sound system with gps autosteer, but I would trade that for simplicity and no computers and the sound of a twin cylinder working in field any day of the week. Thank you for posting and take good care of that ol B It will run for generations while you grow up seeing what is new today in the junkyard in a mere 20 years.
Beautiful old machines lovely to see it still working perfectly after all the years 😎
What a majical day to spend a day and earning money too. Regards from 🇬🇧
Yes, it is more fun than work!
have done alot of that. but with a John Deere D and a no.5 sickle mower. Loved IT.
Gee that's a step back in time, haven't used one of these mowers since the early seventies.
LOVE THAT SOUND
Peaceful life.
reminds me of when I was a kid on the farm.
Just acquired a 1947 B and anxious to hear it run.
I like to imagine its covered the same ground, including to the road in the background, every year since new...
Nice turn.
Like so many commenters, that scene reminds me of childhood. At our ranch, the John Deere was pulling the baler. An even older Fordson pulled the rake. The windrower was the only modern piece of equipment in the field during haying season.
Poor little single tire front end. I would find a double front tire assembly and make the little feller look better! Lol! Great video 😊
I'm more of a horsedrawn fan, but this is undeniably a great design.
This is a 1948 B. The serial # is in the 222000 range. I also have a 1952 B that has a water pump and extra long rear axles with the round rear axle housing. The very late B's with standard length axles had square rear axle housings.
I did lots of that when I was a kid. We had an A & B Model J.D. tractors. People used to call the Johnny Pops. The A model was a hand crank flywheel start with petcocks to relieve compression. The B model had the petcocks but was an electric start. Both had hand clutch rods. You had to be careful or you'd be turned over quick.
We had A but i sure did like watching that grass fall over when i was early teen
love to hear the 2 bangers run.
You got that old Johnny pop a shitting and getting. No 5 mower singing also. I learned to drive on a 50 tricycle front end. The good old days
Ah, brings back memories. I recall, as a kid, the pre-mow routine of hitting every zerk and sharpening sections at the grindstone. On corners, I stood up, stomped on the right brake, and cranked the wheel like a madman. Those corners could be brutal if I didn't idle back enough!
Had a #5 on a 47 A that I mowed what seemed like half way around the world with. Looks like a 48 or later B by the frame rails.
Single wheel front end tractors were popular for cultivating row crops.
Love it
I'll bet that smelled divine.
Wish I had a sickle bar cutter for my B.😮
I used to have a 1952 B with the same mower. It worked well but I was always afraid of rolling over. Wish I would have kept it for shits and giggles. lol
Cool
Mi Hermano tiene un tractor John Deere,casi como ese y esta en perfectas condiciones.
Just one look at the hills and I assumed that this was filmed in the Palouse.
It is the palouse. I got the 2 harrow sections in the John Deere disking the garden video from Don Schulthesis quite a few years ago.
Spelling correction- Schultheis

Ahh, I love the old Deere's!! I've seen other B models with the single tire. Would you know why they did that?
row crops runs over less corn when cultivating
Tractor mounted attachments like cultivators and corn pickers won't fit on a tractor with a wide front end.
Worked better in fields with ditches for irrigation.
Because John Deere didn't want their consumers to be happy.
Irrigated for furrows The two tire row crop won't fit in them
Where abouts in the Palouse are ya! Go COUGS!!
Crude yoke in comparison to the wee Ferguson.
Hold the phone, are you a time traveler because the summer of 2021 has even happened, today is January 22.🤔🤣
That looks like eastern Washington
Close, about a mile past the boarder into Idaho.

Danged gophers.
To fix or not to fix mine that is the question
Fix , definitely fix .

Why don't you buy a new one?? For less than half a million dollars, you can get one that is air conditioned, GPS, and fully programable and you wouldn't even need to sit in it or steer it!! In all seriousness, that is one nice looking cut. And to think I'm limited to my Deere L120 for my 2 acres. Thank God spring is here, albeit a bit chilly.
😅Despite the handicap that the tractor suffers from, the sound of the engine shows that it is powerful and terrible

Give me an H any day over a B
I tan one of those! Used it to spread chicken manure with the manure spreader! Even mowed hay with that No 5 John Deere mower!!!
Worked on a farm when I was 11 or 12 years old are big thing was to see who could start the fastest no electric start flywheel if that thing kicked back you know instantly
