Thanks for the video! The fact that John Deere found a spot on the crank so all valves can be adjusted proves someone was thinking in the design process or manual writing!
Really enjoying your videos more and more! Thanks for putting them out. Gotta love the lack of electronics on these old war horses, strictly fire and steel !
Brings back memories of pulling the head on an AR about 1956 or 57. It had knocked a rod out.. It was originally on steel and my dad put rubber on it. It didn't have an oil pressure gauge just a little pin that moved up when the oil pressure came up. Lot's of memories running it.
Thanks a lot, very good video. Much appreciated. I am rebuilding the engine of my 38 unstyled A. Hard to find f.i. reliable torque data. An electronic copy of your shop manual, never mind ho dirty it is, would be very helpful for me. I have installed Melling sleeves into the deeply pitted block so I can use the standard pistons. Very nice rebuild job.
you need to copy that manual, and use the copy for the working copy. do you ever use fealer gauge go/no go for the rocker adjustments? that makes sure it is not too wide. nice video it is so nice to see the rebuilding of the tractors! reborn for plow days event.
Great series of videos. They are a tremendous help to a first timer like me. I have a question as to where you were able to purchase the new connecting rods for your John Deere A tractor. I am in Canada and have not been able to find these connecting rods new.
Thanks for the video!

Great job on explaining as you go. I find these videos so fun.
any thing like this is great.. Always learn something.
Excellent video Brandon :) well done on repairs on John Deere A tractor and going excellent too!
That was a nice refresher video
Indian head gasket shellac. Been using that on gaskets for years works good too. Old wise man taught me about it.
Really like watching your videos
Yep, great content. One of my favorite channels.

You didn't mention if you ground the faces on the rockers?
Did I misunderstand? I thought I heard you say that you were planning to put the GP on steel(?)
No you heard rite lol
Also say Thanks for the videos. I learning. Where did you find that brake cleaner ( 1st Aid) ? I search the web and can't find it.
Are the copper washers better than the lead washers for the head bolts?
Where do you find the copper washers for the head studs
actually they are lead washers and I think they are still available from Deere.
