Great video. I am debating whether to strip my g down. I runs well and it’s my first two cylinder JD but I feel like it is tired. Thank you for taking the time to go into such detail.
Good simple design john deere 2 cylinder engines were rock solid simple and reliable today not so much they have so much unessary garbage on them that will eventually fail
All depends. Anything that would be coming off of a parts tractor I typically reach out to Lind Brothers. From there, for new parts I'll go to Lind Brothers, Martin's Parts and Repair, Sharp's Antique Tractor Parts, etc. If they don't have what I need then either Deere or shopping around.
The '39 and '40 A's must have been noted for the oil seals leaking behind the flywheel. We had a '40 that leaked so bad you would be oil sprayed if you worked it for the day.
They are all the same design and even part numbers. Just a matter of how worn the cork gets. Although I've replaced the one on my G twice and still can't get it to stop.
I have a 1940 John Deere A and it makes a whining noise under load. Kind of from the pulley transmission area. While you have the tractor apart there could you maybe point out what could be making the whining noise? I know it’s vague and you have know idea exactly what I’m talking about but thought I’d ask.
It's common for these tractors to whine. Typically it is because of the straight gear teeth, but I obviously haven't heard yours. It could also be the bearing inside the pulley. It doesn't really get oiled very well by design, so anytime you have it apart it's important to pack it with grease.
Great video.

Great to hear! What makes you think she is tired? Have you checked out my video series where I took my G apart and put it back together?

Good video Dan, appreciate your time. Where do you typically buy your tractor parts?

I take it this video would also be relevant to a 1948 G?
Yes, a G is setup exactly the same and requires the same adjustments.
