First time working with our 1951 John Deere Model R. Pulling a 13 foot wide offset Ford Disk through hard soil gives this old tractor a workout, but it did just fine.

Always run an “R” at full throttle when working. Don’t bog it down. It will pull your disc in 3rd gear at full throttle. I grew up in the back of one. Love your video.

There were some passes where I was at about 3/4 throttle and as I re watched the footage I could tell the tractor sounded happier running wide open, like you said.

I do a lot of tillage with my 820, hard rocky ground and a lot of hills. I run it at about 3/4 throttle in 3rd and it handles it just fine, use either a 13ft disk or 13 foot cultivator with 13 foot chain harrows behind it. I've only ever seen mine reach 180*F twice and that was cultivating hard ground in 90*F weather with the rad shutters closed tight. Just happily sits around 140 most of the time. They sure sound great laboring a bit.

Yeah, temp gauge got up to 190 while pulling in 3rd gear. So I slowed down to 2nd and the temp dropped to 180 and held steady. So that's where we ran it must of the day. Why full throttle as opposed to 3/4 (which was about where I was at)

Yes, all model Rs are diesel. And all start with a pony motor. I think the first electric start JD diesels from the factory were the 730 and 830. But even this could still be had with a pony motor. All 70D, 80, 720D and 820 were pony start.
