Nothing Runs like a Deere.....

Yep, Nothing Runs like a Deere......as long as you have a Caterpillar to belt-start that Deere.

I dragged home this quite original and complete 1936 John Deere model A the other day. The A had sat under some tall pines here in SW Michigan for over a decade. I got it "running" but still having some starting issues (I think the Carburetor is flooding). The Deere's compression is very good, hard to crank the flywheel without opening the petcocks first. It starts much easier by belting up to the '52 D2's pulley. I'll tear the carbie back apart to look for potential problems (carburetor was completely disassembled and came in a box, everything looked clean but I may have missed something upon reassembly).

I guess it shows you which one is easier to start... LOL. Good to see you back on the BB Rich.

have you got more pictures of the beltpully and cat tractor?

I put a new Float and Float Valve in the Deere's carburetor and adjusted the float level. It starts much easier now without using the "D2 Starter".:clap2::clap2:
