This is a tractor that my best friend (Russ) bought a few months back. It had broke down while chiseling a field back in 1994 or 5 and hadn�t moved since. We went and got the tractor free from the chisel, towed onto a gooseneck and brought it home. He removed the oil pan from the tractor and was surprised at how clean the cylinders were and that he could still see hone markings. He went ahead and replaced the bearings, had the head redone, replaced two injectors and had the pump professionally rebuilt. The guy that rebuilt the pump said he found a broken spring in it which is probably what caused it to die in the field and they never checked the pump out. When he got it running the transmission seal began leaking badly and that�s when we split it and replaced the seals. This is where the photos begin.
Split with new seal in tranny Debating why it wont just snap together. First time this tractor and this plow have worked dirt together in at least 14 years. Me getting a turn at plowing the pasture up, smells great! Russ on the tractor.
Not bad for finding a forgotten piece and bringing her back to life. I don�t think he has 2500 in the whole thing. I know the pump rebuilt was most expensive at 800 bucks or so. I will post more pictures as the restoration begins. Oh and it was 75 degrees here in the Brazos Valley of TX! Gotta love it. Caleb

Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
