John Deere Fuel Gauges
On 2-cylinder John Deere fuel gauges if you install a new JD sending unit # RE68351 I have found that the gauge will read backwards, it seems JD assembled some of them wrong. Take the 2 screws out of the main beam where float rod mounts and reverse the bracket usually this will fix it.
Sheet metal alignment tips for Massey Ferguson TO35
The side panels are not properly attached with the proper pivot bolts. These are a special shoulder bolt. They normally wear and break and were often not replaced with the correct replacement part. Because they are the hinge pins that the hood tips on, they must be tight enough to pull the side panels together against the ears on the front axle support and yet allow the hood to tip. I always tighten them till there is some binding and then back off just a bit. I have seen regular bolts used with a jam nut between the side panel and the ears of the front axle support. Naturally this increases the width at the bottom of the grill opening.
The ears on the front axle support where the side panels attach are too far apart. Because the ears are vulnerable to front end damage either from collisions or loader installations, they break off. If a repair did not replace them exactly as they were originally, they could be too far apart which increases the width at the bottom of the grill opening.
The side panels are distorted. Again, damage from collisions, failure of the pivot points form wear, etc. will cause the edges at the grill opening to be wider than original. Repairs could have been made that distort the original position of the side panel and thus the opening for the grill. Just like in body panel repair on cars, the repairs have to be made to restore original dimensions.
Intentional modification to accommodate implement mounting. Numerous loaders, blades, fork lifts, sweepers, mowers use the front axle support to mount their frames, drive units and pumps. It is possible that the installation of one of these items at some point in this tractors history required that the opening at the bottom of the grill area be widened. I’d look for washers or spacers inserted between the pivot points of the side panels and the mounting ears on the front axle support and remove them to restore the original dimensions.

Golden Jubilee was made in 1953 & the NAA was made in 1954 both used overhead valve engine, had live hydraulics, rear axle hub held on to axle by a threaded nut. Hydraulic lines from live pump to rearend are exposed , 4 speed transmission, script hood & fenders, casting numbers on transmission & rear end start with ‘NAA’.
How can I tell if I have a ‘L’ or ‘LA’ John Deere?
Easiest way is to look at rear of the tractor ‘L’ uses hollow pipe for a main frame, LA pipe frame is covered to look like a solid piece of round metal.
John Deere Colors
2 cylinder generator colors Waterloo built tractors were black until the black dash 20 series tractors. After that they were painted green unless it was an industrial then it was painted the industrial color.
Moline & Dubuque built generators were painted the same color as the tractor.
2 cylinder seat and backrest cushion color was black until the beginning of the 20 series tractors in 1957 at which time either yellow or black was available.
What is the difference between cutout & voltage regulator on International / Farmall?
Farmall tractors could be equipped with either a voltage regulator or a ‘cutout’. They look very similar, the difference is the voltage regulator will have 3 terminals on 1 side & 1 terminal either on the other side or under the regulator. It also uses a 3 position light switch. Cub mounts below generator on governor housing others mounted on back of light switch box or rear fuel tank support. Cutout will have 2 terminals on 1 side and 1 terminal on other, uses 4 position light switch, gas tractors mounted on generator DSL tractors mounted on left radiator support.
How do I know if my International Farmall tractor is a Super or not?
The easiest way to tell on most rowcrops besides looking at the serial number tag is to look at the outer brake covers, supers have cast iron outer covers where non supers (unless equipped with aftermarket disc brakes) have sheet metal covers.
How do I tell if my tractor has a live PTO (dual clutch)?
Push clutch pedal down, if it seems to stop halfway before feeling moe resistance it should have live pto.
