hey,
i have had a '37 B for about 2 years now and this is what i do to shut it off. If i am going to restart it later in the day i do what one individual posted earlier sugested and idle it down, put it in road gear, and gently ease in the clutch. However, if i am going to not run it for more than 3 hrs. I recommend shutting the gas off and letting it idle until it runs out of gas and dies. This helps you start it next time because the carb is dry and the motor wont have gas in it that could slip past your rings and run into the crankcase oil (diluting it) when its sitting. I have tried all the methods mentioned and this is what i have found to work the best and seems to be that way almost everyone else i have talked to says to do it. Hope you find what works for your tractor.

With the throttle linkage adjusted properly, you should be able to pull the throttle back and basically starve the engine of air.

Turn the fuel off & let it go 'till it quits.

I was raised on a B and we always put it in gear, set both brakes and with it at idle engaged the clutch to kill it.

I believe JD designed this tractor to be stopped by shutting off the fuel and letting it run until the carburetor is empty. We ran my gandfather's 1939 G on kerosene always. I started driving it in 1946. Letting the carburetor empty itself prepared it to receive gasoline for the next cranking. One BIG benefit of this is that if the carburetor needle leaks a bit, the cylinders wiil not be FULL of fuel when the next cranking is attempted. Remember, the engine is lower than the carburetor on this tractor. Incidentally, I loved that G!

This is the way the Deere manual says to shut the tractor off. If you ran on kerosene, you needed a dry carb to be able to start on gas. If the needle leaks, it keeps the engine dry. And, it doesn't wear the clutch like dragging it to kill the engine. Just remember to run the throttle up enough to get good engine cooling and oil flow. The story went around when I was growing up of a farmer who forgot to shut the fuel off, pulled the throttle back to slow idle, and after puttin all night with minimal oil pressure, needed an overhaul.
