I found this video because I just inherited my grandfather JD 50. We used to brush hog the CRP field and always had a stash of shear pins. You could break on engaging the pto if you were not careful. These tractors were made for plowing not brushhogging, but it will work. Like you I have a lot of work to do restoring mine.
@flyboyslc125 күн бұрын
You are correct on the shear pin issue. We had not mowed those acres for,several years and there were lots of saplings, and sheared pins. I just keep a bunch in the toolbox. My grandfather had a 50 that he traded for the 60. He gave it to me in 1983 and it has been mine since. Next winter will be a bored block, intake manifold, and head work I am afraid. But it is worth it to me to leave it in good condition for the next owner.

Just liked & subscribed. We have several tractors. We have a 300 utility. a 350 row crop. Ours have the fast hitch. The 350 also has live PTO. We just sold the rear portion of a 350 to Andrew from Plane View Farms. He has a row crop 300 and intends to use the 350 componets to convert his 300 to a fast hitch- live PTO and TA.

This 300 has live PTO and ta. I did not know that IH offered two PTO options? My jd60 could be bought either way. I much prefer keeping the machinery in motion rather than having it stop every time the tractor stops moving. Perhaps safer without the live pto? I know a few fellas that have tangled themselves up in their machinery. Never a good outcome.

However next field closer to the river and we have switchgrass about 3 feet high, very dense. Some of it has to be mowed in 2nd gear and that is all the tractor can handle, remembering that this 60 has about 35 pto horses available. Also, you can tell me better than I know what a bat wing mower will cost? I see used ones go for thousands of dollars. The old 6 foot bushog we paid $130 for 40 years ago.

Batwings can be fun, but people tend to overestimate these tractors PTO output there are few if any batwings designed to be used by a tractor rated under 40HP now @redgreentractorthings9043 is a gasoline variant so it probably has better compression and probably lingers at 35-39 HP on average while an All Fuel like mine is more in the range of 30-35. These old tractors where rated to the engine speed which fluctuates differently because tolerances in those days as well as a lack of computer machining meant things fluctuated between tractors of the same model only a dynamometer is a sure way to tell.

If you find Steiner videos on PTO clutch that is what he did and where I got my idea too. I found a 1/2” drive socket that fit pretty well and used it as a driver.
Well you got it man that’s all that matters and should be good for along time I wonder if putting that grey anti-seize on the threads would help for next time
Yea Chris, it sure would be a good idea I think on the anti seize. I hit it good with oil. Those belts will outlast this 70 yr old man anyway. That tractor has been under a roof when not working it’s entire life. I can only imagine how difficult it had been if it was all rusted up.
Awesome video. I just bought one of these tractors
Well thanks Tristan, I spent so many hours sitting on the seat of that Farmall 300 harrowing down what my grandpa plowed that I have a strong affection for that tractor. I hope you have great fun with your new tractor.
I don't have a grease fitting on my new pump.
Bob, is that new pump an IH factory part or an aftermarket part?
@@flyboyslc1 I don't know.I got it from Steiner tractor parts
@@boblajoiesr591 Bob, I am pretty sure Steiner isn’t selling IH parts. Don’t know if the last of a grease fitting will make any difference or not
