THE REASON I'M SELLING IT, I HAVE 3 LITTLE KIDS INTO EVERYTHING ELSE BUT, OLD TRACTORS, AND I DON,T HAVE ROOM TO STORE IT. I DO HAVE A RESERVE ON THIS TRACTOR. THE TRACTOR IS IN REAL GOOD SHAPE, ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 10 , I WOULD SAY IT IS AN 8 OR 9. ENGINE SYSTEM RUNS GOOD, HOLDS GOOD OIL PRESSURE, I ACTUALLY STARTED THIS TRACTOR WHEN IT WAS -10 DEGREES A FEW WEEKS AGO AND STARTED ON THE FIRST REVOLUTION. STARTS GREAT AND RUNS GREAT !! ( SEE PICTURE OF DASH WITH GAUGES AND IT IS RUNNING IN THAT PICTURE). CLUTCH WORKS GOOD, DOES NOT SLIP. COOLING SYSTEM WORKS FINE AND HAS THE WATER PUMP IN THE RADIATOR, THE BELT HAS SOME CRACKS IN IT. CHARGING SYSTEM HAS 12 VOLT GENERATOR (REBUILT 6 YEARS AGO) AND WORKS FINE (SEE GAUGE IN PICTURE) , HAD NEW BATTERY LAST YEAR. LIGHTS ALL WORK AND ARE ORIGNAL EQUIPMENT LIGHTS. FUEL SYSTEM: GAS TANK IN GOOD CONDITION (NO LEAKS), CARBURATOR IS A DLTX 71 IN GOOD SHAPE, EXCEPT ON THE BOWL WHICH I BELIEVE IS A DLTX 13 HAS BEEN BRAZED BY THE FUEL LINE INLET FITTING. (YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE SIDE PICTURE) SHEET METAL : GRILLES AND SCREENS IN GOOD CONDITION, HOOD HAS SOME MINOR DINGS AND THE MUFFLER HOLE WAS CUT AND MY UNCLE PUT A REPLACEMENT PATCH IN, BUT THE BODY WORK ISN'T PERFECT ON THE PATCH AREA. THIS IS WHERE THE SCALE OF 1 TO 10 COMES IN , WHICH I RATE THIS TRACTOR AN 8 , BECAUSE OF THE BODY WORK ON THE HOOD PATCH AREA. THE FENDERS ARE ORIGINAL JOHN DEERE FENDERS WHICH ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, BUT ON THE BOTTOM BRACKETS , THEY WERE CUSTOM MADE BY A WELDING SHOP TO FIT THE SQUARE AXLE. (SEE PICTURE) MY UNCLE PAINTED THIS TRACTOR ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO. POWER TROL DOES WORK BUT THE LEVER WAS WELDED ON THE SHAFT. SO I HAVE ANOTHER POWER TROL UNIT OFF ANOTHER 1952 J.D. A THAT IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE THREADS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ON THIS POWER TROL UNIT. THIS EXTRA POWER TROL GOES WITH THE TRACTOR.(SEE PICTURE) TIRES: REAR TIRES ARE APROX: 7 YEARS OLD. VERY GOOD SHAPE LIKE NEW. NO WEATEHR CHECKING. THE REAR TIRES ARE GOOD YEAR DYNA TORQUE SIZE 12.4 X 38, THE FRONT TIRES ARE FIRESTONE IN GOOD SHAPE AND SIZE IS 5.5 X 16 . FRONT RIMS ARE ORIGINAL RIMS IN GOOD SHAPE #JD1268R. THE REAR RIMS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND NOT RUSTED. J.D. #45 LOADER SERIES #1 WITH THE SNOW BUCKET GOES WITH THE TRACTOR, ALL THE BRACKETS ARE WITH IT ( SEE PICTURE). LOADER NEEDS SOME WORK, THE HOSES ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOADER HAS BEEN WELDED ON THE FRONT ARMS AND THE BRACKET HAVE BEEN WELDED. THE BUCKET IS BENT ON THE TOP OF THE MIDDLE AREA, IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE WORK BUT IT COULD BE RESTORED. I TRIED TO BE VERY HONEST WITH EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT THIS THIS TRACTOR . IT IS REALLY A NICE TRACTOR. WOULD MAKE A GREAT PARADE OR HAYRACK RIDE TRACTOR BUT WIIL NEED A LITTLE WORK TO MAKE IT A REAL SHOW TRACTOR. THIS IS FOR PICK UP ONLY IN DEWIIT, IOWA.
