Perfect opening! I grew up with a 42 Willys. Wish I had it now!

Dang! I should have met up with you. I went to Orange Spectacular on Friday. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anybody to go with me to Hastings on Saturday. Hastings is a good show.

I live not far from there and been there many times, unfortunately had to miss it this year but your video helped remind me what a cool place it is.

I have a question for you about a 1941 JD model A carb, it’s a DLTX not sure of the model number. Anyway, my brother turned both the load and idle needles in all the way, before transporting the tractor. Is there a basic adjust that I can use to start way. As any example, from the closed position, the load needle should be turned open by 1.5 turn to start, the adjust from there. I am looking for something like setting just start with. It’s like after rebuilding the carb, the idle and load needles should be turned out 2 turns as a starting point. Hopefully this makes sense to you. Thanks for the help.

another gear show, in my vison kenny bought his favorite tractors/gears from there and bring them home with him

Nice assortment of vintage tractors, including prairie tractors, in the parade. Looks like a very patriotic atmosphere with the National Anthem and the military vehicles. I started thinking about all the money that our government wastes in foreign countries when so much of that money could be used right here for revitalization and repairs of our old buildings, cars, trucks, bridges, main streets of America, and you know it, vintage tractors! That was pretty good video quality from your phone. And yes, show season is here! Appreciate the video, glad you and Rae had some quality daddy-daughter time at the Little Log Cabin show. 🚜 👍

9 that's it. we have 46 tractors

Brother that’s a 55

Hey Kenny you do you it looks amazing good luck on the rest of the build, spoker yeah 👍👍👍

Love the progress! Great job Kenny!

Ya know, when you're dealing with a machine that's darn near 100 years old, it's awfully hard to make it true to original. It's close enough Kenny!

I love the way Rae comes in and takes over. Reminds me of my daughters when they were that age.

A tip I found on the web about your rear axle "I've restored or helped restore a few John Deere D's and used short pieces of high quality oil and fuel resistant hose in place of those vellumoid washers. I can't remember the actual length of each piece but I allowed for 3/16" of squash and when I cut them I trued each cut to a smooth finish to help make the seal. "

You're doing a good job on this D. I am one of those crazy purists but everyone makes their tractor their own and if you enjoy it, that's all that matters! And to be honest there are so many unique "early" D parts it's hard for me to keep anything straight! I'll stick with my 38!

On sealing your rear axle housing bolts. Deere did not use lead washers, they used vellumoid, more like paper, and a lot thinner than lead washers. I seem to remember trying out O rings, but it's been a while. I also put a shaft seal on my gearshift lever, and it stopped oil leaking from there as well

Thanks for the update Kenny! Sure coming along nicely! I’m glad I don’t have to keep the spike flywheel a secret anymore! It look amazing on there! Getting closer to being a complete tractor again! Can’t wait for the next video!

Love the spoker D

Loving the videos on the John Deere D keep them coming! I'm learning heaps from you! Im at the same stage on my D build too. Looking forward too seeing how you set the end play on the crankshaft. I ended up using fibre washers or they might have a different name to attach my final drives to the tractor instead of the lead washers not sure if that was a great idea or it being a young a dumb idea haha.

That's skill !! One handed AND working the camera

Must be nice to have a farm and all that left to you by family

Getting closer!!!!

Pabst boxes make the best shim gaskets on the governor. I speak from experience rebuilding that governor on our 25.Gotta be Pabst though 😂. I boiled out the block and head on grandpa's A using CLR from Lowe's cleaned out the rust and lime nice. Thanks for the video nice job.

I can't get over how much working room there is. You will understand what I mean if you need to go into the Cub rear-end. My hands are too big. Thank you Kenny.

I have learned a lot about Ds watching your work. A job well done with attention to detail. Back in the late 1950s we didn't have a ring compressor. We used a piece of baling wire wrapped around the ring and pulled on both ends to compress it on a very early AR. That was a two person job. It had the red head oil pressure indicator and not a gauge. We got it with steel wheels all around. Rubber went on pretty quick.

Looking really good!!! Yeah, it's not going to be a perfectly correct restoration but, you aren't misrepresenting what it is to fool anyone. Plus, it's your tractor and you can be proud of the job your doing to bring it back to life. 👍👍👍

A Spoker D! Didn't see that coming and I guess I missed the clues along the way, but again, I am not mechanically inclined. 😂 Adding to the excitement though. Are you sure you don't want to go all out with a new paint job and decals too? Raelyn didn't want to give up her red chair, that was cute. Thank you for the update. A great way to start my birthday morning! 🚜 👍

Nice and smooth operating. NOT Fergieman

Hey Kenny, I am working on a W4 so your videos are very helpful.

Thanks for the update Kenny! Making some great progress! H That’s a minor setback with the wrist pins and a good machine shop would have them honed out for you quickly. To bad your not close to me or I coulda helped out. Can’t wait for the next video!

Kenny, that's got to be THE easiest "snap-ring to install, known to man...I mean you did it with one hand and WITHOUT any pliers , while holding a Go-Pro!😁 Of course...removing it that way is another matter, but how we wish ALL of them were that easy...

maybe of interest in uk

Dang ! I have a big pile of balance weights. Maybe I need to melt them, and make lead washers. Thank you Kenny.

Great progress, it's coming together nicely. Well done, buddy! 🚜👍

Great progress Kenny

Got it a poppin!!!!!

It's going to be as good as new or better when you're done! Thanks Kenny!

Except for a few minor hiccups, she seems to be going back together pretty good Kenny.

Thanks Kenny!

Its amazing that you know all this stuff with the order of parts without using a parts manual. You definitely have a mechanically inclined mind. You are in your element! 🚜 👍

You make it look soo easy, knowing proper order helps too😂

She sounds a little clanky!! LOL!! Thanks Kenny!

What does this go to I found a new one of these looks all original have no clue what to do with it

Looks like the QC department is doing a great job!!!!

Hello Kenny, hope you are well. I've just found your channel thanks to squatch253 so as and when I can am definitely going to enjoy watching your videos Anthony 👍

Nice old tractors cuz. I like em

well done

More awesome progress!!!

I suspect Rae will have a better grasp on mechanics than lots of adults. Thanks Kenny.

Guaranteed successful project, Kenny. Raelyn approves.

Excited there’s been a lot of progress!
