Thought you guys would find these interesting. Our summer was dry like a lot of people's, and it proved to much for this Deere. We were called in for a grass fire to find this in the middle of the field. Luckily no one was hurt! This post was edited by heavymetal at 20:22:47 11/28/12 2 times.

I know it looks bad but we saved the weights and tool box! Reminds me of the volunteer rural FD I belonged to when I was a youngster in Indiana growing up. Our motto was " We haven't lost a foundation yet ". These guys never get the reconition for dropping everything and risking their lives to save somebody's life and belongings. Hats off to the volunteer FD's everywhere!

Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me.
