These old tractors had HORSE-power; new ones have ponies. FI, this '38hp' Deere could drag two of Deere's tiny modern (Asian) 38hp hydraulic pump on wheels around the pasture three times without slipping a wheel.
This tractor could use a tune up. Adjust the timing and carborator while on the dyno. Notice the slight smoke and miss when the the rpms were pulled down? I thought the 70 series replaced the G. My 720 gas turned out 65 HP on the dyno.
How is 38HP a big deal? Just curious. It doesn't sound like a lot but these tractors last forever and pull hard. Just interesting how only 38hp moves mountains?
a farmer in our village had one for years must have been a ww11 war loan tractor replaced it with Gray /Gold Fergeurson 35 when they came out i think his tractor driver never got over it as i think he was 13/14 yrs old when he started driving the tractor as war time you could get away with such things be frowned on in this PC world we seam to have created ,compared to the Fordson of the day a lot more advanced tractor
@@Ford7710 FURHER to my comments my dad who ran ford lorries van cars always bought DB TRACTORS we had one AC Perkins engine i wanted an underslung tool bar for the AC he traded the AC back to the DB dealer and bought a DB D2 tool bar tractor , when i bought my own tractors preferred MF as i considered they had better hydraulic system than ford i owned a ford 300 wich was a great tractor let down by its hydraulics no hight control wich made life easier when carrying out some tasks , new Holland now neve had one ,and to set your mind at rest i was not a fan of JD tractors
Gs were also made to start on gasoline and covert to kerosene, after a few minutes warming up..I cut my teeth on those old Gs. Daddy had two and are parked in the pasture.
It put out 38HP.
Sweetest music: Radial aircraft engines, steam locomotives starting out and 2 cyl’s under load.
And 268 Ford motors. And 203 perkins.
@@Ford7710 now you are talking Perkings

Hydrostatic stuff is junk and old tractors are better and made in USA.

@@Xmilker-zb8ig - Nebraska did tests, they're fun to look at.
It sure could use a tune up!
I look at the ones for Ford a lot.
The first thing Grandpa Oscar would have said was "Popping Johnny!". Interesting video.
Thanks.
This is what a tractor is supposed to sound like...
No. It’s supposed to run on 4 cylinders and be painted blue and say Ford on it.
They sound good as well...
@@Ford7710
Yes.
Yes.
😂ford😂😂😂😂😂😂what a joke
My first tractor dyno. No stats at all. Bummer. Torque is insane I bet.
They didn’t show us the numbers of horsepower or torque.

@@jasongriffin1127 I don’t know. I only pay attention to Ford tractors. I don’t care about JD.
It was a big deal when these tractors were built, they were released in 1937. They run at less than 1000rpm too. You need torque to pull.
@@MrPaw45 how much torque does it make?
@@Ford7710 I don't know, tried looking it up but couldn't find anywhere that stated torque figures for them.
@@MrPaw45 Well that’s too bad.
I would like to know why it seems that everbody runs a straight pipe? I belive theysound better with a muffler. I used to run most of these tractors.
They probably just want to be center of attention.
How many horsepower did it test?
I don’t know. They didn’t tell anybody.

@@robertsmith9810 I like Fordson and Ferguson better than a JD. I’ve been around tractors since I was born.

@@robertsmith9810 I dislike John Deere VERY strongly. My favorite is Ford and Massey.
I like those ol' one bangers!
One banger?
Thats not a G clutch engager...from a 60 or a 70. G was curved
I don’t know much about small details on John Deere equipment. I know Fords pretty good though!
Oh my, it’s another member of the John Deere Police. LOL

@@LowLevelNC Yup. I guess so.
@@dirtyshame2444 Do your tractors still run? What does cut your teeth mean?
What she have ? 40 some hp?
They didn’t say how much.
The G put out 38HP
I own the 1086, and it put out 160HP
@@ChanceReed94 That’s good. I liked that 1086.
SO what were the results?
They didn’t say.
