Hey what gear do you put the tractor in while mowing?

Nice turn.

Wish I had a sickle bar cutter for my B.😮

I just got a JD B. ❤

Something about a sickle mower is just a beautiful thing to watch work.

That looks like eastern Washington

We had one like that. We sure got rid of cats, at times

Gosh we had a “B” and the #8 mower just like it. I think we had a #5 and #9 mowers too. I mowed lots of hay with the #10 and #50 front side mount, usually on the 3010, 3020, or 2510 diesel tractors

Your son did a nice job! That is so satisfying listening to the John Deere and sickle bar while watching the hay fall. Great video, thanks for posting.

Oh How Sweet It IS!!!! I'm 74 & spent many a Year Cutting Like This & Then Using a good ol' horse rake with a foot tripper pulled by our 2nd JD B.

Peaceful life.

Beautiful old machines lovely to see it still working perfectly after all the years 😎

I work summers on a farm and I get to drive the nicest most modern equipment , but what I dream about is having my own small acreage and doing everything with old fashioned vintage equipment. An old johny popper is music to my ears. Don't get me wrong I enjoy air conditioning and a fridge under my seat with a killer sound system with gps autosteer, but I would trade that for simplicity and no computers and the sound of a twin cylinder working in field any day of the week. Thank you for posting and take good care of that ol B It will run for generations while you grow up seeing what is new today in the junkyard in a mere 20 years.

Had 2 B's. 1936 and a 1938. Cut a lot of hay with them. Even ran the bailer a couple of years. First 2 years use a dump rake for wind rowing and put it up loose one summer.

I like to imagine its covered the same ground, including to the road in the background, every year since new...

Why don't you buy a new one?? For less than half a million dollars, you can get one that is air conditioned, GPS, and fully programable and you wouldn't even need to sit in it or steer it!! In all seriousness, that is one nice looking cut. And to think I'm limited to my Deere L120 for my 2 acres. Thank God spring is here, albeit a bit chilly.

Like so many commenters, that scene reminds me of childhood. At our ranch, the John Deere was pulling the baler. An even older Fordson pulled the rake. The windrower was the only modern piece of equipment in the field during haying season.

ЄВАНГЕЛІЯ ІСУСА ХРИСТА І ЧИТАЙ ЄВАНГЛІЮ ПОКАЯННЯ НАВЕРНЕННЯ РОКУ ПЛАН ЗАХОДІВ !!!....

reminds me of when I was a kid on the farm.

I'm more of a horsedrawn fan, but this is undeniably a great design.

ماشاء الله سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم

Cool

Now that's farming! brings back so many memories

Crude yoke in comparison to the wee Ferguson.

We had A but i sure did like watching that grass fall over when i was early teen

I'll bet that smelled divine.

😅Despite the handicap that the tractor suffers from, the sound of the engine shows that it is powerful and terrible

Love the sound of those old twins!

I have a 1949 BN, N designates a single front tire. I've been across the Mackinac bridge 2 times with it. When I see some one looking at the tractor, I will put a load on the engine and make it bark, then watch them get a smile on their face.

Give me an H any day over a B

I did lots of that when I was a kid. We had an A & B Model J.D. tractors. People used to call the Johnny Pops. The A model was a hand crank flywheel start with petcocks to relieve compression. The B model had the petcocks but was an electric start. Both had hand clutch rods. You had to be careful or you'd be turned over quick.

Love it

I tan one of those! Used it to spread chicken manure with the manure spreader! Even mowed hay with that No 5 John Deere mower!!!

I remember my 39 B serial number 69691. I really liked that tractor 😇🙏🎣

Mowed many thousand acrea with narrow front G and no 5 mower foot lift on the bar pulled dump rake behind mowing prairie hay had to be coordinated to run the foot lift and dump rake at the same time and use the hand clutch in emergency stop rock trip bar back. All happen same time. Broke narrow front of two times in badger hokes

Poor little single tire front end. I would find a double front tire assembly and make the little feller look better! Lol! Great video 😊

Where abouts in the Palouse are ya! Go COUGS!!

Worked on a farm when I was 11 or 12 years old are big thing was to see who could start the fastest no electric start flywheel if that thing kicked back you know instantly

I used to have a 1952 B with the same mower. It worked well but I was always afraid of rolling over. Wish I would have kept it for shits and giggles. lol

Just acquired a 1947 B and anxious to hear it run.

Can't you just smell that smell of fresh cut grass, or hay And the sound of the Johnny pop Brings back fond memories of a wonderful simple life ❤️ 🙏God bless the Farmers (ANF) AMERICA NEEDS FARMERS The World Needs Farmers 😊

Muito parecido com com os tratores do relâmpago maquin

You got that old Johnny pop a shitting and getting. No 5 mower singing also. I learned to drive on a 50 tricycle front end. The good old days

Grew up driving one of these back in the 60s.

Thanks for reminding me how nice a live pto is

love to hear the 2 bangers run.

Brings back memories of doing similar. Though I didn't have a PTO driven mower, I had a converted horse drawn mower... 1963 to 1973... Mowed about 360 acres each year.

Gee that's a step back in time, haven't used one of these mowers since the early seventies.

Just one look at the hills and I assumed that this was filmed in the Palouse.
