1949 John Deere Model B Questions

AustinFrug3 · May 7, 2019

Hello everyone! Please excuse me if I mess something up as this is my first time posting (Long time lurker). But I digress I recently bought a 1949 Model B and have a few questions.

1. How is the fuel line and and fuel bowl setup? I have looked in my IT manual and can't for the life of me find a diagram of it.

2. My second question is more complicated. So on the power trol I understand there is a way to set it up to have a single rear remote hydraulic.

Having a parts and ops manual would help with many questions.

The fuel line set up depends on whether your '49 B is an all-fuel or a straight gas tractor.

You can run a single acting hyd cylinder off the Powr_Trol. Hook up the hose from the "L" outlet on the cyl
to the "L" outlet on the Powr-Trol. Take off the cap nut from the metering screw on the left side of the
Powr-Trol, loosen the 3/8" jam nut and turn the screw "in" until it bottoms out. Tighten the jam nut and
replace the cap nut.

You should be able to study the fuel line and figure out how it goes, I would think.

But as mentioned--get yourself an owners manual and a parts book.
