John Deere B on steroids

Not really but sure seems as though. Plow video was last year when it staid wet till the middle of
June. Plowed with it again this year, got the same feeling.

Decided to check the engine RPMs with my digital laser tachometer. Got a reading of 1550 rpm.
That’s why it seemed extra peppy like it wanted to take flight. Had to go to the manual to adjust it
correctly.

Good to see a 60+ year old tractor still in service with mud on the tires.

Thanks for sharing your video with us.
 
Thanks, really wish I could get it out in real field conditions as my garden soil is not typical of field conditions by any means. Maybe someone will have the courage to have a fall plow day that won't get cancelled but I am not counting on that.
 
It is a 1950 B and model 812 2-14s mounted plow hooked to a 801 3pt hitch with stabilizer bar. The PO of this tractor was a man that grew up directly across the road from my Dad, someone we both knew all of our lives. When he passed I acquired the B from his estate sale. Before he passed we both were members of the local antique tractor club and he often spoke in detail of the B, his favorite tractor.
 
Thanks, Was wondering if you are getting the chance to pull your tractors with so many things like county fairs getting cancelled?
