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 up a better video with commentary of how to get the hood off to replace a muffler. Unfortunately Deere made something that should be very simple far too complicated. Keep a close eye out for my pup--he makes a few quick appearances. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09jQ-z-9F74

I needed to go look at something on the far side of one of the fields. I also needed to do something with the 2010 Utility. Where the snow was melting, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to do both! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu9bft_pOgw

It's been a while since I've posted a video, so I thought that raking the grain hay (mixture of oats, peas, and beardless barley) would be a fun opportunity/excuse to get one of the old tractors out and shoot some footage. The B (in its day) was a great haying tractor. I know the B spent many hours pulling various styles of hay rakes. However, with our modern equipment, we use different styles & larger rakes. So, I only used this for enough of the field to get some good footage. With our modern swather (windrower), we cut the rows really wide to increase drying time. This makes it harder to stratal the row, and also makes it so the tractor has to drive on it. If we had the rows not so wide, the tractor could go across it all better and also combine them into one row also, which is better for our large square baler (they take in a large amount of hay to be able to make a properly formed bale). Anyway, the tractor used here in a 1949 John Deere BW all-fuel. Although they made a good amount of BW machines, the majority of those in the late-style design were gasoline only configurations. This tractor is the all-fuel engine, meaning it could be started on gasoline, then switched over to burning most common cheaper fuels at the time (hence the name all-fuel). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryOeb2CXHvE
