Farmer behind us in the 70s used to plant corn with one. Seemed he never got much above idle. Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop for hours on end. Loved that sound.

Brings back memories

Thanks for the video. My great grandfather had a B on order during the war. First tractor to come in was an A so he took it. My grandfather drove it home from town after high school in 1947. He told many stories of the poppin Johnny. That same plow still sits here today. Broke up everything that was tillable on our place. The Deere was traded for an international super M in 1952.

I grew up learning on a B. It was a workhourse, but we traded for a JD40 in 1954 with the hydraulics and electric start and lights and all those things the old B did not have.

My grandfather farmed with a John Deere Model A, traded that in for a 720 diesel then traded that in for a 4020 diesel.

😲🤘🤟😜Me asombra ver qué...! Todavía hay quienes tienen éstos tractores 🚜 O como yo les llamaba (Burros 🐎maneados y/o mani atados) me trae recuerdos de mi infancia, es más me asustaban porque de repente echaban tiros, porque su carburación era explosivas 🤭 pero que bien que todavía la gente los conserve, para trabajar la tierra, yo quisiera tener aunque sea uno de éstos para trabajar así mi tierra es muy bonito Sembrar y cosechar y más teniendo una herramienta no importa de qué año o modeló mientras funcione, es más nunca fué gran ciencia labrar La tierra simplemente, es saber trabajarla y claro qué llueva 🌦️🌾🌻🌱 Gracias por compartir estos vídeos 😎

As the old farmers called them " the Johnny Popper "

Like the Jonny popper sound good little genius plow

at one time around here, you could hear a popping JD running from daylight till dark April till December.

Now that is a cyclone B John deere

Reminds me of the John Deere tractor my Uncle Lloyd used in the 1950s and early 1960s. I'm not sure what model it was but it was about that size and had a two cylinder engine.

Nowadays you got huge tractors pulling plows with a dozen blades (Oops. Noob. I mean 'bottoms') Back then you just replaced what a team of horses could pull and you were thankful.

Hope u get er fixed soon if u ain't already i love it sane year my dad was born.

one of ,if not, the most dangerous tractors ever built

Pulling a 2 plow good . I am glade that you did not do anything stupid like other people do . Like putting a smokestack on the dam thing . Your a good farmer like things the way it needs to be .

It seems like a pretty big field for a two bottom plow. Of course, unlike here in New England, there aren't many rocks. We'd have to plow in second gear here and hit a rock about every 5 minutes. Tractor sounds good by the way. Thanks for sharing.

You are right it is a huge field for a two bottom plow. We only did about 15 or so passes for fun, work the older equipment. Plowing around our part of the U.S is a thing of the past we use a large CaseIH Field Cultivator to work the ground.

Are you pulling that in 3rd gear? I could never get ours to pull a 2 bottom plow higher than 2nd.

Running a little genius with a john deere lol and here I am running a john deere 52 with a farmall. Good equipment all around lol

We never plowed any bean stubble. Plenty did! Man did it wash! The reason why alot plowed it because getting the planter through the trash.

Watch out for those Field Shrews, they tend to jump on and attack the fuel lines

It very well could be, only used that tractor plowing 1 or 2 times before this video so still getitng the hang of it and want to keep the rpm high plowing.

Nice looking tractor. Looks very similar to a 1941 B we had when I was growing up except ours had pressed front rims, instead of spoked front rims. Looks like your clutch was slipping for a little bit there. Easy to fix - just don't over tighten. Gain just 1 notch on 1 of the 3 lugs in the clutch, and that will make a big difference. I would think a 1943 would be a fairly rare model, as it's my understanding that there weren't many John Deere tractors made in 1943, because of World War II. I think Deere was mostly making military trailers, tank transmissions, parts for airplanes, and several other things during that time. You might have a fairly collectable tractor there.

Sounds sort of like half again more rpm than it should have. Clutch didn’t have the strength for the hp it was putting out.

Stop and tighten your clutch

Why do these two lungers have irregular firing patterns? And how fuel efficient are they compared to modern engines?

I believe that a John Deere 70 diesel held the efficiency rank of number one until 1985. In 1985 that tractor was turbo powered. I believe that if you took a 25 horsepower tractor today, it couldn’t even pull that plow, That 18 horsepower would. The latest B was 24 horsepower
