taking the block out of a Deere is real easy, and I mean real easy.

First you have to take the hood off of the tractor, in order to do this you have to take the small piece of tin (the medallion) off of the front of the tractor, then you can take the steering shaft of, be careful as there are 2 bearings that come out with the shaft. Then take your side curtains off, there are 3 bolts on the hood side and there are 3 hidden in the steering column side. then take of the hood and gas tank as one piece making sure all is disconnected. Then take off the fan and governor assembly, then the water manifolds (upper and lower) then you are at the tappet cover, take that off, then take off the rocker arms, pull out the push rods, then take off the head, and finally the block just unbolts, and the rods also unbolt (there is a cover on the top of the tractor which is right in front of the pedestal which gains you access to this. Presto then you have the block out.

What honestly would help you a great deal (I know it helped me before restoring my B I had no idea what I was doing) is the Engine Rebuild Video For John Deere Tractors, they take you step by step and you can't get confused by the manual! Click on the Parts Supploers link and then click on the videos link. I guarentee that it's money well spent. Although buyng the parts manual and service manual help a whole lot.

I hope this helps! If you need help feel free to e-mail me at kbader@badertech.com and good luck!

Hope this helps!
