1947 John Deere B part 2, fixing the clutch lever and flushing cooling system and new spark plug.

In todays video we get back into the B we change out the bolt for the clutch lever because it was warn out with a lot of play, Flushed out the cooling system to get scale and other stuff out of the block and determined the tractor was running on one cylinder so I changed out the plugs.

Super Clean, purple color, cleans up the grease off the tractor.. Heavy grease can be attacked by mixing dry Tide laundry detergent and lye. Make a paste and paint it on , keeping it damp with a spray bottle of water. It will boi Off the grease, then you can spray it off with a garden hose.

Robert’s Carburetor has videos on how to clean and repair the carburetor. Your tractor sounds like it might need to be cleaned. A few passages blocked can have a lot of affect on the running of the engine. They also show you how to easily remove the brass plugs to clean the passageways.

@@DanielMeyer-ls5ph the carb on the engines fine I dialed it in alittle more after the video. The main issue was the one spark plug was dead so it was only on one cylinder.

Get a parts book and then you can check around for the parts that you will need. Some sources can cross reference from the dealer numbers.

Yep at 1:28, still a little bit rough running. Maybe the carburetor??

You should've just rattle can painted the parts you took off and cleaned - then slowly it'll look cleaned up and it'll be easy to identify what you've fixed.

@@TheDoctor1492 ya know I had thought about that but the stuff everyone sells turns blue over time if Deere paint wasn’t $15 a can Id just redo the whole tractor

Don’t go through cold weather without antifreeze

@@DanielMeyer-ls5ph yeah its got antifreeze in it now, I drained it and flushed it again a couple days ago.
