This John Deere B was for sale on our lot and was sold to someone who wanted a John Deere Tractor. The customer wanted us to go through the motor before he took it home. We re-ringed the pistons which were .125 overbore M&W Pistons. The cylinder head valves needed replacing and so did the valve springs. We installed a new radiator filler neck and radiator cap. Rebuilt the carburetor, magneto and cylinder head. Honed the cylinders and replaced broken manifold bolts. Rods are the babbit style and they were in great shape.
The front left hand wheel hub bearings were shot and
those were replaced also. The headlights worked so no work was
needed on the wiring or lighting. Even the charging system worked.
If you have ever worked on one you would know it's no easy task hooking
the engine oil line back up to the engine block.
This tractor is in good shape and we are now looking for a wide front end for it. Please contact me if you have one to sell. Has a one piece pedestal.
Who knows, you may see it crossing the Mackinac Bridge
in September, 2008.
Congratulations to the new owner in St. Johns, Michigan
