1939 Model A Radiator Muffler Replacement how-to. This video shows the installation of the radiator, muffler, air stack, and re-assembly of the tractor. As a note–I should have filled the radiator after I re-attached the hoses on the cooling system. I had a leak in one of the hoses, and having the hood off would [...]
John Deere BW Muffler Replacement Preview–incomplete. This is a section of a video I’m putting together of a muffler replacement on a 1949 John Deere Model B. It’s the first time I’ve had this hood off, so I ran into a few snags. I’ll have to finish it another day. When I do, I’ll make [...]
Earlier last fall I learned that someone in the valley has a very nice 1929 John Deere model D. The D was the first tractor that John Deere produced under the “John Deere” name (the Waterloo Boy was officially the first, which John Deere purchased to jump start their tractor line). Here is a picture [...]
Here’s a short video I took while combining in a John Deere 6622.
Even though we sold the dairy a few years ago, we still have a few beef cattle. It’s kind of fun feeding them when dad isn’t doing it. Here’s a few random photos of our cattle feeding experiences.

We have a fairly rare John Deere 4020 on our farm. I suppose it’s rare because it gets the most hits out of all of my videos on Youtube! Okay, after doing some research online and reading some books, it really is. It has four wheel drive (FWA, or Front Wheel Assist to be exact), [...]
I was recently looking through the videos I had on my phone, and noticed this video that I shot earlier in the summer. Since it’s so cold outside right now, I thought a little touch of a beautiful summer evening would be nice. Loading hay with the John Deere 3020 and pulling it with the [...]
My summer project has been restoring the ’47 A that has been sitting on our farm for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure exactly how long long it’s been there, but I don’t remember it NOT being there. I’m not completely done with it, but it’s definitely made progress! [...]
After doing some research and finding out the the first tractor we had on our farm was a 1949 John Deere Model A, I decided to keep an eye online and see if I could find one. At first I wanted to see if I could track down the original machine, but after realizing that [...]
