My first tractor was a JD G. I bought it in 1963, I was thirteen. I gave $250 for it locked up, used up most of my savings to buy it and fix it. It had just been over hauled but locked up in about ten minutes of running. I torn it down in my Grand Father"s barn, on a dirt floor. Found out that who ever had done the work on it had turned the right main bearing oil line fitting the wrong way. The first time the crank turned it broke the fitting right off. So it had no oil to the right main bearing. I had to have the crank ground. I DID REBUILD THAT MOTOR WITH NO BOOK!!! The horror!!!! LMAO
Yes it is good to have a manual but it is much better to have some common sense. Many have a lot of book/manuals but don"t know to come in out of the rain. ( This was for the thread before)
I used the tractor until I joined the Army, in 1967. It set in My grand father"s barn until I got out in 1979. I got it running again and used it a little. I was farming full time then and needed another more modern tractor. I sold the JD G for $750. Three guys bought it but none of them had all of the money. I had to repo it from the first two. The third still has the tractor.
It is really funny how they took off in value in the 1990s. Any kind of JD G would have brought the high $2000-3000 then.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
