I just traded for a 1953 G and the clutch wheel slings oil out,#1-how do I stop this?I have never had one leak there always on the flywheel side.#2-Was there ever a gas G in late 53.Last but not least,#3-are the factory cultivators for a G worth anything because I will probably sell them.This 53 very well could have had the small tank removed and it is gone but it has an old looking gas manifold on it too.Thanks in advance.Jack.

I don't think you should worry about the oil coming out of the pulley I have a 1950 G that does the same thing also but I will admit that I have the oil pressure turned up a little bit and I guess I missed the problems you had with your 70 I sold one a couple of years ago and bought a red one (what the HE** could I have been thinking?) still kicking myself for that move but thats life I guess. They sure run sweet with the duplex carb. and improved head compared to a G just my opinion.

i have read what the others have wrote an i am not one to argue with someone but i have several G's an have had them apart. The G oil slinger was designed to leak oil out of the clutch side. the drain hole that usually goes back to the crankcase, on the others, drains out on the ground on all of mine. It looks to me like it was disigned this way.
Now to your fuel question. The G was never a factory made gasser, but the dealers had a gas conversion that they could add right there when it came in. From my understanding this was a 100 dollar deal when it arrived. it would increase the horsepower from 38 to 50. Take this for what it is worth, but i have had several apart an restored several. feel free to email me any time you have a quedtion, i will try an answer them.

Did you finally get rid of that pesky 70? I got aggravated with mine and traded it for '54 JD 60. I'll have to check with others about the oil slinging. All G's were kerosine burners none were straight gas from the factory. From '47 - up they used the later style gas manifold. Probably 150 - 200 bucks for the cultivators. Not many use these tractors in the field, someone would have to want a display tractor with mounted cultivators.

Many of those clutch units leak on the "G" series - The first place to start is to make certain that the slinger threads on the pulley are clear of impacted grease & will actually work, along with the return hole below the crank. Next check retaining pan that bolts to the 1st reduction gear cover, many have leaky gaskets or have been worn due to incorrect installation over the years. Loose or worn mains will also deliver a significant amount of oil in this area, especially if the oil pressure has been jacked up to a degree. It can be a real bear to get these things sealed up, with many 'trial & error' experiments until you have it completely under control. Good Luck!

As for the engine, I don't believe that Deere ever offered the "G" as a gasoline model. Is the hood sealed off where the starting tank would be? Where is the fuel cap, along side the steering arm or closer to the edge of the hood? I remember seeing a "G" around these parts with a '70' hood on it, but in order to do so I believe that you would need to do a little fender/body work. Given that Deere was prone to doing things that were reflections of the model to come, especially late in a production run, it's hard to tell.

I believe that Deere offered the parts for the G to look like a gas tractor.. I think it included a bigger tank and a hood with only one hole. JDGnut

Hello there fellas.The G hood has the hole in it for the little tank.How many 53's were made?I'll be the first to admit it but I took a little loss on the trade cinsidering how money I pumped into the 70,but I never was satisfied with the way it pulled and it was very heavy even with pressed steel wheels on it.This makes my 3rd G that I have owned and they are my favorite of the two bangers.I sold my first 52(like a dummy)so now I have just two,a 52 and 53,not counting the mmmmm m red one setting in the corner.Oh by the way,what would cause the pulley wheel to be chipped on the outer edge?Thanks guys and later. Jack

According to research of Deere data by JR Hobbs the last G #64530 with 38HP was indeed a 1953 built on Feb 19th 1953. To each their own but the 70 gas built from March 27th 1953 had lots going for it.With 51HP, live hydraulics,available live pto & avalable power steering in late 1954 production,it did more on less fuel.

Well I bought mine stuck and that was my first mistake,and had complications ever since.If I do get another,it will be a good running one.I liked it fine but I had had enough of it and decided let it go.There are lots of 70's around here so if I want one again it shoud not be a problem to get one.Later G Taylor.
