You have to be careful. There were several styles of L'S-- started out with the model Y, then 62. The early ones were made out of Model A parts as this was the depression and little or no money was around . styled and unstyled, up to s/n 639,999, JD used the Hercules engine, The NXB. After 640,000 JD had their own engine with electric start and generator. If you have the serial number that's a very big plus and it will tell you about when it was made. Parts are around, Ridenhauers(they specialize in only JD L's) in Ohio and James MacFaddens in Sharon Springs in NY. In the past I have gotten many parts from MacFaddens. Rims for the "L" used to be available from Gemplers. If you intend on keeping it the "WICO Model X" magneto is the best.(this was an acceptable upgrade from earlier mags) The Model "C" is an Ok mag and JD's first was the Dixie-Splitdorf. As to price it varies all over the country. I have a 1940 Model, one of the last with the Hercules engine. I've been offered something over $3000 here in VT, but its not for sale-- way too much time and money in it to think about selling. Everybody wants to buy cheap and sell very high.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
