Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
Gentlemen (and ladies too), the subject of my old two-cylinder John Deere tractor came up on another thread. I began to wonder how many lever gunners have an old two-cylinder John Deere tractor that they enjoy (either of their own, or their Dad's, etc.). It sure would be enjoyable to see a few photos if you don't mind posting them in this thread.
I'll start with my own tractor and plow. The tractor is a 1957 John Deere 620 and the plow is a 555 H. The tractor has a rebuilt engine as of a year and a half ago, new wiring, and a new paint job. The plow, I rebuilt a year and a half ago as well, in a friend's shop.
Here is a short video of me out plowing (I make a brief appearance about half way through) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kSZH5P9SUQ
and here is a photo of my tractor and plow ...

Never owned one myself but growing up my grandad had an old Model B with optional lights that ran off of a magneto. Yours is a lot better looking than his ever was in my lifetime!

Very tidy bit of plowing Kirk and your John Deere looks brand new, real nice job of renovation.
Do you have plowing matches over there? They are quite popular on my side of the pond.

We do have plowing matches here. This weekend, in fact, there is an 'International Plowing Match' happening about a half hour from here. I'm not sure why it is called an 'International' plowing match, since it is always held here in Ontario every year, but it is a huge deal.gamekeeper wrote:Very tidy bit of plowing Kirk and your John Deere looks brand new, real nice job of renovation.

Snkbitten: That is a beautiful unstyled Model B. If I could swing another classic John Deere, it would probably be a Model B.
CRS: I had no idea that there was a 2-cylinder Diesel that recent.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
Growing up, we had a 1941 B Model. For those unfamiliar, it was equipped with a hand clutch and the way you started it, it had a pitcock valve on each of the engine cylinders. You would open those valves and then spin the drum mounted on the side of the engine. Once it was running you closed the valves and that was when the engine developed the distinguished popping sound that gave it the name Popping Johnny.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
I learned to drive on a B in upstate NY. In '63 or '64 I signed on with a farmer for the summer, room and board plus $75 and a heifer calf.
I think I was 14. The tractor had wheel brakes somewhere between poor and non-existent.
Lost it down a hill one day with an empty hay trailer. Only the clutch brake and trailer brakes stopped it.
That will definitely take all the stiffness out of your knees.

I would have thought the JD 620 diesel is a 3 cylinder.

Both the JD 620 gas and diesel options were two-cylinders, as were the 720's and the 820's. The last of the standard 2-cylinders were the 30-series (e.g., 630, 730 and 830. My 620 is a gas version.kaschi wrote:I would have thought the JD 620 diesel is a 3 cylinder.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
No pictures but I had a John Deere model H, a smaller than the B , with a two row mounted cultivator for row crops. Planted my garden in 40" rows, saved a lot of hoeing! Later got a B model, an early six speed that I upgraded with a later model hydrolic (Power Troll) unit on the rear of the differential housing. Worked great, was able to run remote hydrolic cylinders, on a plow and a bush hog. Should have never sold that tractor.
This is plagiarized from someone else, but I love it!

KirkD,
Well, it has only two injectors and 16 HP. The 750 is a three cylinder with 20 HP. They were made in Japan by Yanmar. They were classified as Compact Utility Tractors.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
I owned a 1931 GP for a couple weeks about thirty five years ago . And had JD 1 1/2 , 3 and 6 HP single cylinders but that was the extent of my old Deere stuff . I did however almost get my hands on a 1919 Frick 6 3/4x9 double cylinder steam traction engine .

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
My granddaddy had a Model G, which I never saw, then a Model 70 diesel, complete with gasoline pony engine to start the diesel. Traded that one in on a Model 730 diesel, which had an electric starter. He grew cotton and wheat in northwest Texas. He also had a Massey-Ferguson 65 diesel, which I plowed with in the summer. I got to drive the John Deeres occasionally, but not that much, so it was quite a thrill when I did.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
Thanks Kirk. That 620 is the last evolution of the 2 cylinder John Deere and maybe the most beautiful. I still have a plow that I think is just like yours but I'm using an Allis Chalmers 170 to do most of my work with. I had a couple of Bs, one with a set of cultivators on it then an A that was just like new. Great tractor, electric start, the Bs weren't. The video was great. Sorta forgot how far you tilt over while plowing.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
Kirk,
That baby is cleeeeeaaaannnnn......and really purrs smooth. I am surprised that you actually use it for what it was intended for. The guys around here who have nice old ones keep them covered up in a barn and take them out for parades, etc.
There are actually quite a few of those old Deeres around here and I see the Amish (the ones who got past the horses and plow) using them with the old steel drive wheels. Those people know how to keep anything old up and running.
Snkbitten's 1938 is a real beauty.
About 30 years ago I was a few miles down the road (tagging along with my wife) to visit this old timer who has a farm and while my wife was doing business, I was looking around....this farm was in the family for like a million years and every tractor they ever used was still there...along with every car and truck they ever had. One Model T Ford had a tree growing through the middle of it. Must have been 50 vehicles of all types, most in deplorable condition. This neat old farm is now houses for the Yuppies.
Anyway, when it comes to vehicles that have to be used, I like modern. Here's my Kubota 3350----6

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
My 47 G that I helped restore some 20 odd years ago, Dad gave it to me last year.
Got this old 51 B for my birthday this month to restore, looks pretty decent on the outside, but inside is not too pretty. But, I will win!
This is my Dad on his 57 720 that he bought brand new when he got out of the Army in 57, along with a few other implements. Sent most of his pay home to Gramma to save and when he got out he had enough to start farming on his own. He traded this on off once on a JD 4000, 2 weeks later he bought it back. Few years ago he sold it again, got to buy it back again, says he keeps it now till he dies. I spent many an hour cultivating on that old girl. Happy to still have them both.
Dad's had alot of other ol 2 bangers, but this one was THE one.

Hey, Ben...where's the ROP and the back up warning beeper,and the strobe light on top and the seat belt full containment harness and the..... O, wait...these nice little tractors were built back when people didn't use drugs at work and used their brains for something more than hair fertilizer. Nice tractor!

Thanks, Griff. Keeping the furrows straight is harder than one might expect. It isn't simply a matter of going in a straight line. There are also patches of soil in the field that may be harder or dryer than other patches. The hard, clay patches will tend to shift the plow over an inch or two, depending upon how much the clay has turned to concrete. This will get worse with every round until one is past that hard patch, and requires fighting to carve just slightly more off in those areas. We have a lot of heavy clay around here. My favourite fields would be a sandy loam.Griff wrote:BTW Kirk... in watchin' your video, I noticed how straight your rows were... very good!

Every time I plow I feel my dad looking over my shoulder... you're right it is hard... down here, we have a black mud, ok to work when it's damp, hard as clay when dry, and like molasses when saturated.KirkD wrote:Thanks, Griff.

We call them Popping John's around here, my Grandad had one. Beautiful tractor, great job on the restoration. Last year I upgraded from 67 year old 9N Ford tractor to a "new" tractor that is only 29 years old! Power steering and brakes for the first time ever!

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
I like Big Green plenty well enough !
But I kinda like these others a bit more !
I had a friend that had Hart Parr's in 12-24 , 18-36 and 28-50 but he's been gone a few years now and they were sold after he left us .
The 30 , 15-30 , 16-30 and 22-40 were made a wee bit earliuer . Also the 22-40 and 28-50 aren't 2 cylinders but actually two of the two cylinder motors side by side . All these tractors had horizontal cylinders like the early JD's !
I think at some point I need to find myself a nice RESTORED 12-24 or 18-36 Hart Parr and a 46-48 Jeep CJ-2A .
But I kinda like these others a bit more !

I think at some point I need to find myself a nice RESTORED 12-24 or 18-36 Hart Parr and a 46-48 Jeep CJ-2A .

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners
When I was born in 1961 my maternal grandfather had a 1948 CJ-2A that was his everyday vehicle .
I'd kinda at some point like to get a restored CJ-2A !

I don't know, claybob86. It had corn this year. Winter Wheat, Soybeans and Corn are the three most common crops around here.claybob86 wrote:

6pt-sika: those are great photos. I had no idea such a tractor company even existed. Thanks for posting those.

How do I get a video to post as a video instead of a link, seems like I used to do that.
