I am an FFA Advisor in Indiana. We are currently attempting to restore a John Deere 70 tractor, as a project for our FFA Chapter. This is the first time that I have attempted such a project. We are in need of parts for our project. Any help with parts, advice, or comments on restoring tractors are greatly welcome.

Hi there. I'm an FFA member who just graduated. I wanted to wish you luck on your project. I assume you'll be entering the Chevron Restoration Contest. Have fun and good luck!
Chris

If you find you need some major motor parts, I have a good block, head, pistons and rings I took out of a 1953 JD 70. You pay the shipping and they're yours.

All items are in good condition? Do you know by chance what it would cost to ship these items. We are located in Bedford, Indiana, zip code is 47421. We are definitely interested though!!

The block, head, pistons and rings are all in good condition. I took them out to replace with a power block and propane head and manifold for pulling. I live in Vermont, so it probably won't be cheap to ship, but I'll try and find out and let you know.

Just let me know what you find out about shipping, and we can go from there.

Like John T. said, if you're at Bedford North Lawrence, I'm nearby too. Have a parts book on CD and an IT manual I'd loan you. Past FFA member myself. (Owen Valley) Let me know if I can help. Jim.

You may allready have them ,but the single biggest help is going to be your own parts book and service manual. Get a copy of Green Magazine I saw them for sale at my local TSC store it has many many vendors advertiseing in it.

Most parts for the old Johnny two-poppers are availible through John Deere itself. I restored a model A, and I only had to buy parts for Deere.
The key point to remember when restoring a tractor is to have fun. Good luck with your project!
