Just subscribed. There is no other sound than that of a two cylinder Deere especially pulling a load. I'm 65 and grew up with an R and a 50. The 50 still runs and is I'm the family. Thanks for the living vicariously!

Love watching for the john Deere stuff, but man that scenery you get to live and farm within is something else, just unbelievable.

Love seeing the old vintage green come back to life. Great job

I think it done just fine. Love them old John Deeres when they are pulling hard.

I trailer around a 1963 Massey Ferguson MF35 Utility Govt edition. It weights around 3500 pounds. The trailer I use is older and is a 14k, 16ft trailer weighing in at 4K. I tow with my 2016 F150 with a 5.0 V8. I have also towed a 1941 JD model A weighing in at 4600 pounds. I always keep the middle of the back tire on either tractor centered between the dual wheels of the trailer. That was it keep a good load on the truck, while allowing the trailer to handle the majority of the load weight. I also use a set of Timbren SES springs. The spring are made of a rubber plastic material, that get denser the more weight that is added. They do make the backseat of the truck ride rougher. But I don’t get any trailer sag when I tow the MF35, and only a little sag when towing the Model A.

I have a ‘49 AR it’s not too far into the styled models, it’s a fun little tractor to plow with, never thought about taking it to a pull so I might have to change things up and take that next time. Another thing I like about it as I can let my kids drive it around and I don’t have to worry about them falling off, they’re pretty protected sitting down in between those fenders.

Great video, love anything concerning tractors and farming. Thanks

She sounds good! I like my 70, but I love the sound of an A or AR pulling!

I knew the AR was strong from your plowing video.

Excellent video Jonelstar :) yes nice see old John Deere tractor in 2 cylinders my families oldest John Deere tractor is 710 Desiel motor row crop with loader my uncle Roy still has full restoration back 2007 done before John Deere Dealership near us shut down forever in 2010 ! It was my grandfather (my uncle father) , his 2 brothers tractor shared on 3 farm years ago! In super condition to plus all decals match ! Got lots updates on 710 !

Your AR sounds great under a load. I also own a 1950 AR. Keep your great videos coming

The AR did a great job! Looked like track was pretty loose.

My dad and I are currently working on restoring our 1950 John Deere AR. We restore antique tractors to take to tractor shows/pulls.

Hauled a 630 with fluid in the tires with an F15. tractor weighed 7,600. The road was wet and my dad had the tractor loaded a little too far to the back of the trailer. I had fairly used tires on. Spun the truck tires at every intersection. I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t scared driving that load. On the way home we made sure it was loaded more on the tongue. Much more balanced and felt safer, no truck tire spin. I have since put timbren springs on the truck to help with the weight. I try to get the rear axle of the tractor in between the axles of the trailer. A friend of mine hooks his rear chain up and then drives forward until it’s tight so he’s loaded at the same spot every time. But he doesn’t put a chain binder on the back . I’m not really fond of that idea but I like having a set mark for where it should sit on the trailer. So I agree with you. Little more tongue weight won’t hurt.

I'd rather have a little muck on the tongue than too little. When I was pulling a dump trailer with the old RD Mack on steep gravel I'd slide the 5th wheel forward 3 inches to get more on the drives and back for highway but the RD was sprung with walking beams and stiff as a wagon and would kick easy, 44 rears and 38 front. The old popper did a FINE job and bet the folks had a time! Blessings, yall!

Got my weekly JD fix! 😉

The AR is a fun model to drive, I have a 1953 AR. The ride is unique as you sit on the tail end yet still have good visibility. Certainly easy to load on most any trailer being so narrow. Thanks for the video.

That's a very nice looking and running old John Deere!

Your right about the toung weight and almost every thing else

great video!

If you want to work an 2 cylinder get an old belt driven fan. We have one at the tractor club I'm a member at. We call it the engine break in fan because it will bog down any 2 cylinder. I run my 35 A on it twice a year.

after a gas tractor 🚜 😮 sets a while U should take a wrench and tap the carb when it is running it keeps the float from sticking and the tractor 🚜 😮 needs more weight on back tires 2 light and when U pull a tractor 🚜 😊 on a trailer U want the back tractor tires over both axles of the trailer 😊😊 OMG 6 2O 2O24

Perhaps you should eat a few extra hamburgers before your next tractor pull.😊 the AR is a fun tractor. I'd be curious to see how it pulls compared to the standard model A.

When are you going to get started on the Oliver 70?

Sounds great (especially when it has fuel 😂). These are very unique to me they have the sturdy look like an R. What was the purpose of these when they were built?? Orchard?? Or was the "R" indicating "regular". I certainly see these being sold in prairie lands.

How come you didn't check out the tractor completely before starting this video? That's not very intelligent of you, filling the fuel tank with the engine running. 😒
