weak moment

[Charley Lillard]

Went to a auction today at a farm I used to work at. They were selling off old tractors to fund upkeep on a museum they have. Bought a 1930 vintage John Deere and a older steam engine that is apart. They both run just as good as my Yale did. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/159175-IMG_0964.JPG

Charley, I'll bet that JD will hook up real good (in a field anyway)! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif Congrats!

I agree, some of those old farm tractors are pretty cool. Do her up right. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

Cool Charley...I have 2 ..a 1947 Allis Chalmers WC that is a yard ornament and a 51 Ferguson TO20 for trail maintenance !!...I spotted a mint restored Oliver Row Cropper a few weeks ago...

[Z-11 396]

Charley, they look great, and will be fun to fix up, unlike what happened to '' Bruce "" ride, when he had his fixed, but it will make for a good /// yard //// ---De-Art-Toe ////, the neighbors will love all the pertty colors...

[olredalert]

------Those one-lungers are cool, Charlie. My dad had one for years. Starting them is actually fun. Pocketa-pocketa-pocketa!!!........Bill S

Charley, that is very cool!!! I like your wide interest in vehicles. Will the wife let you put it in the front yard and plant a flower garden around? Anyone who has been to your place, would agree it would look nice at your place. Roger

Send them to Sandlin, He can get anything to run http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Really though if you want to get them running and running right, check out the Antique Tractor Pullers. Bet someone there might even make an offer for them as well unless you sell the Steam one to Leno who has a thing for Steam driven vehicles

Charley, can you find all the parts now days to complete this restoration?, will parts have to be made as well?, it will really be a great addition to your collection's..are there many like this around? ''Enjoy"" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif......Kasey

[Charley Lillard]

If I were to try and make it run it would mean abandoning Musclecars, buying bib overalls, getting a train conductors hat and hanging out with the antique tractor guys. I think I will just try to hang the parts back on it and make a nice lawn ornament....

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Mr 70 found it pretty quick Charley !!! I wouldn't go trying to get it running either...it's a high pressure boiler...it needs professional help or you will have one hell of an explosion on your hands..MR 70 now you have to find a boiler explosion pic...

They just had the Delaware Valley Old Time Power Equipment show in our town this weekend. Lots of old John Deere and Farmall tractors. Some old jeeps and some old Mack trucks. They had a couple of JD tractors just like that one.

Whack the top half off and use it as a barbecue pit. Okay, hinge the top half and use it as a smoker. Hey, how about using it as a watermelon cannon? Big fun for the kids!

Is that a flywheel on the left side of the john deer? If so; that is one seriously big A$$ flywheel

I'm also into old tractors. My dad and I was at the Canfield Ohio Fair the day before that tractor blew up killing all those people. Our local club invited some members of a club up in that area last year and on the subject they said rivets and pieces of metal were stuck into buildings, cars and parking lots 1/2 mile away from the blast. (The owner let the water level get too low in the tractor that blew up btw)
I was at a show several weeks back and the 80 year old owner of a steam tractor was training a younger guy to run the tractor. The 80 year old was on the ground and the younger guy asked him which way to pull the leaver and the older guy said "I always forget myself-push it forward and see what happens" Needless to say I got out of there in a hurry.

Restored a 1941 Ford 9N several years ago. Made in October 28 1941. Sold it to buy acreage. Now have a 1957 New Holland Super Hayliner 68 baler I'm going to restore. Always stored with little rust. Very easy resto..and cheap too. I paid $350 for the baler and other than several new bearings, sandblast sand, few gallons of paint and new tires will have no other money involved.

Wooden legs were abundant

[Belair62]

I think the flywheel may be a drive pulley for a leather belt to run implements...this was before PTO's !! Not sure about an old Deere though....Whitetop...water heated under pressure beyond 212F creates steam that is useable...as long as it remains under pressure it can be controlled and used....when it's not under pressure it boils at 212 F...boiling point goes up as pressure goes up.....when you take 250 degree water under pressure and realease the pressure thtu a break in the boiler...ALL the water turns to steam NOW with bomb-like results. Imagine piloting a steam engine back then with that huge boiler in front of you...there were no ooops when it came to low water level ! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

[Schonyenko2]

If I remember correctly there is a compression petcock on the back side of that flywheel, or there abouts. You open the petcock to get it on the compression stroke by turning that flywheel. That's how you start it. Most everything else, Farmall, Allis Challmbers etc, had hand cranks out the front that when they kicked back, broke your wrist. Jezz, somebody wake up moparts. He's a Deere dealer I think. We just built those big red axial flow combines,
And Bob, it's a petcock, not a pet cock. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BelairSucks.gif

[Salvatore]

We had an old John Deere on the farm in the 50's and my dad used to grind corn off the flywheel for the animals. Hooked about a 30' belt to the flywheel and to the corn grinder. A lot of dust and noise. Man....The good old days!

[Belair62]

I don't remember telling you what to rub Ken !!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[Schonyenko2]

I'm not a Deere expert, but most belt pulleys were seprate from the fly wheel as you had to throw them in, and out of gear. The one on our Farmall M ran off the PTO lever and you kicked the clutch to engage, or disengage. That Deere has a hand clutch, and I think the used a seprate wider pulley that should mount on the side of the frame.
Bob, studies show 90% of the male population indulges in masturbation, and the remaining 10% are liers.

[Belair62]

Don't interupt me dammit..I was talking to Rosy Palm......the Allis Chalmers has a belt pulley on the frame...you have to loosen a lock bolt and pull the pulley out about 3 inches to engage it and then run the PTO...pretty weird deal..

Saw one of those at the Monroe swap meet last Saturday, already sold for $400.

[djunod]

What vintage are you looking for? I know a mechanic that has one in storage at his shop... don't know if he wants to sell it, but I could ask.

[Seattle Sam]

Just looking for one that would work, it would make a nice shop-warming present for my buddy's new home shop he recently finished. A cart would be a definite bonus.

Charley is an idiot. There is no saving him!

I propose an immediate revocation of his Moderator rights, as he has proven he is insane today by buying a green AMC (!) and a FORD station wagon. Further proof of insanity is that he finds these two items AND Velcro shoes "Neat".

I beg you, please, stop the insanity! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/CharleySucks.gif

I think the wagon is kind of cool actually...hey someone has to buy stuff like that....guarantee it will be languishing at your place in a couple months !!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/CharleySucks.gif

The glass area on that wagon is http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif--It is a sharp lookin Wagon---Charlie is there a 390 engine in that AMC?--

I'm still waiting to see him finish that farm tractor....or ride that Yale.

[Charley Lillard]

Yale is gone and I had the farm tractor actually fire the other day. Didn't run but it did pop a few times. AMX is a 390 4 speed car with 50K miles. The wagon is simply amazing. Colin isjust Mr Cranky pants because he had no dinner last night and he also wanted the wagon.

[budnate]

hey there both cool rides...let me know when ya want to dump the AMX cheap..always had thing for them. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Born30YrsLate]

So when's the ZL1 badging going on the tractor?...

[70Z]

You know anything about that '69 Camaro Forst Green

Nope..They were all starting to look alike. A ZL1 clone sold for 130K. A RS Z28 with what I think was a repo crossram sold for 130K.
