    Ol carburetor Cork lives less than 3 miles from my wife’s grandparents and I’ve had a few carbs rebuilt by him. One of a kind man for sure!

    My family bought a Model L I think in 1939. They used it on a small family farm to plow, disc, cultivate, pull a horse drawn mowing machine and a hay rake. They also built a small dozing blade assembly and later pulled a flip scoop which could be an interesting device...specially if you fogot to let go the handles when dumping. Greg

    Only watched about 13 minutes and it struck me, that thing probably defined the expression, "wrapped around the axle". SO many ways to get a hand or loose clothing caught up in the works. Oh, it IS a beautiful beast, and I love John Deere tractors, but I bet it took its toll on human life.

    I grew up on Olivers, but my uncle had a couple of JD A's. As a kid, the A was easier to determine what gear it was in. Pulling in loads of hay, the A needed a drawbar lock pin to keep the pin from jumping out. When we baled hay with the A, anytime we stopped, we would always leave the clutch engaged, and just pop the shifter into neutral, to keep from plugging the baler. After a couple of years, our 77 Oliver was the tractor of choice for the baler.

    I used to drive the two cylinder John Deere's. The A, the D, the M and an older version of the A. The D was started by turning the flywheel and doing the other bits. :)

    One of my first jobs was in a machine shop where they rebuilt engines in the old "Poppin' Johnnies". My main job was boring the cylinders which would wear in an oval shape because of the weight of the pistons laying down in a horizontal position.

    • @robertheinkel6225

      Never considered that configuration would cause uneven wear. Makes sense though.

    First I have heard of Frolic, it is interesting to study these early innovative people like Frolic, Cummins, Kettering, R. G. LeTourneau, Holt, Best and Rudolph Diesel. Many encountered significant failures in their life works and were only realized for their technological contributions years after their death.

      We had an A and an H. Both of ours had electric start, but the battery was usually dead on the A and I most often started it by hand turning the flywheel. We got the H when I was 13 and the A when I was about 15 and except for rebuilding the hydraulics in the A I don't think we ever added a drop of oil to either one that I can ever remember, lol. We built a wood splitter to run from the hydraulic pump was why we rebuilt it, hooked it up with quick couple hoses. We did the plowing, tilling and harrowing with the H and did bush hogging, mowing, raking and baling with the A. Put a few miles on those two myself.

    What a great video Thank you for this. I was raised on JD tractors. I did own a Spoker D at one time and I still remember the serial number. 33652. I do nott know where rtthis tractor is today. I traded a old Army Jeep that did not run for it that I paid 100 dolars for and when I sold it to an oldd Amish man I got 3500 dollars for it. I thought I was going to be filthy rich. How I would like to buy it back for 35oo today. One other thing. When you were talking about the early JD B no one said a word about the 4 bolt front end ? i was waiting for that to come out. I also had a 4 bolt B at one time. Any way thanke for every thing. .Jack ...The Old Scovy

    This guy is WRONG about small crawlers. I was born in Yakima and raised on the family orchards in Selah. Jesse Lindeman was a friend of my Grandpa's and we still have the delivery receipt for a Lindeman crawler in 1943. CLETRAC crawlers ruled the roost in the Yakima valley NOT CAT. Lindeman was a CLETRAC dealer in Yakima before the JD deal. His company was YAKIMA IMPLEMENT. Model W's and K-20 CLETRAC'S were found everywhere. Cats were the EXEPTION not the rule. There were also T20 McCormick Deering crawlers found.
