Tractor Fun!

Postby Farmboy » Tue Dec 20, 2011 10:28 am

I know how much you guys like engines... and a lot of you are from the country... so I figured you all would enjoy some photos of a tractor build up... 1951 John Deere A that is...

Thanks to Phillip I got my new to me powerblock home saturday night... which for those of you that don't know takes my two cylinder motor from a 5.50" bore to 6.0" bore..

Now the motor has some rust pits on the cylinder wall from sitting around so right now it is looking like I am going to have to bore it +.125" :rock: which will take me to around 398 Cubic Inch!!! that's right... that is from 2 cylinders... got two big coffee cans going back and forth in there...

Here is what the cylinders look like after a little honing and a photo of one of the pistons... With lots more pictures to come after I start ripping into in... :D

OH thats a baby, my old D has 502ci from the factory and is now punched to 7 inch pistons, makes it alittle hard
to crank by hand though. :shock: gota have all your ducks lined up and your toung just right for it to crank up.

(D) don't make a good pulling tractor though, so your power block A would probly walk on by me. i weigh 6,450 with
nothing on it, so it's hard to get the weight where you want it.

keep us posted with the build.

Yup, small ones! :lol: My R has 6.75 bore stock. I'm not sure on the cubes, less than Dars D, but I know it will out pull it. :mrgreen: You want to see a big block, the cylinder is 15" long. That's one hefty piece of meat right there!

Keep us updated, we love this siht! 8)

I'm just now getting into these 2 cylinders and they are fairly cool. We bale hay with a 630 in the summer and my boss' father has a 720 diesel pony start. That 720 is one cool, cool tractor

I'm being given either a B or a 60 if i fix the other. Sounds like a good deal to me 8)

Pete Pete Pete, check it out.

i believe the R brought out in 1949 and went to 1954
Diesel fuel
5.75 bore with 8.00 stroke
415 cu in
16.1 comp
1,000 rpm
with a 24.6 cu in pony motor.

however you are very correct your R is a horse of a tractor, 7,500 lbs or so.

Even though my cubes is bigger ( somewhere in the 538.5 range) I've always wanted one of the big diesels R, 80, 820, 830.

but my dream tractor is a 730 standard diesel electric start with 3pt.

I think my favorite is the 720 diesel row crop tyicycle front end. Don't really like the sheet metal of the 30 series...

Ellis, you are one sick puppy! :roll:

Dar, sorry, you're right! It's been 4-5 years since I last worked on the beast, I thought it was 6.75. I know the stroke is 8", but the cylinder is 15 " long. :P Mine is a '49. Someday I might quit playing with the truck long enough to put the pony back together and finish the tractor. Naaahhhhhh! :lol:

Dar I couldn't resist the opportunity :mrgreen:

Besides I've never seen most of those tractors anyway, most have been sold off for scrap metal around here. Something about people around here liked the farmall/IH/case stuff better,tons of it down here, those and the 8/9n fords :yuck: You'll be proud to know that my father-in-law and I do have a 1941 model M that we're trying to restore,he's a PITA to work with thou :roll:,wants everything perfect but says he wants to garden with it :| I say why bother making it perfect when your gonna work it and scrape it up :(
