Popular Post Dougsr Posted August 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2013 I just got my JD B back together and took a little test ride. I have been working on it off and on a year and half. It has 45 over high compression pistons in it now. It has that good John Deere pop pulling the hill by my house. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougsr Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 When I got this tractor we thought the engine would be ok. We took it down and painted it real pretty. After the oil was changed and it washed the carbon and all the crud out it did not have any power. Blow by was bad. When in the Christmas parades at night you could see the blow by real bad when you had the lights on. If you go to www.latc.us and go to the Photo page and look for my album you can see a few pictures while we are painting it. I think there may be a before picture in it too.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-202705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Looks real good. I can't wait to put some paint on Dad's collection. He likes them looking like they still work and of course they still do. Maybe we can paint the GP once she is back together. That would be a good start.Enjoy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-202771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsr Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 We have a guy in our tractor club that has a little JD H still in its work clothes. It is a good running little tractor. It is hand start. A lot of people like to keep them in the original paint when it is good enough.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-202812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go out of my way to find and pay a little more for an original. My JD 3020 and 4320 are original paint/sheet metal. The one Cockshutt 570 Super and Allis-Chalmers C are all original. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-202838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougsr Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 I know where a Farmall H is on a grader is south of Alexandria LA. I think it is an H It has been setting up a while. He said it would run.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-203028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsr Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Our Tractor club is having a thirty mile tractor ride In a week and half. I will get to break the engine in on that ride. I think we are going to run around ten mph.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-203865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougsr Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 My first John Deere was a 41 H. It had the hyd, fenders, wheel weights, lights and electric start. It was a sweet little tractor. It was good in the displays and parades. But seven mph is to slow for a tractor ride. I sold it to a guy in south LA to pull his antique ice cream machine with.Doug Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32542-1946-long-hood-john-deere-b/#findComment-203909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
