4 East Gate Road, Sufferm, New York 10901I located my 1939 John Deere model H, serial No. 1869, inSomerville, New Jersey, while looking for an engine block for a1941 John Deere H that I was planning to restore.
The owner of thetractor, Mr. John Yablonski, a very affable dairy farmer whodabbles in tired iron, recommended I buy the complete '39 for alittle more money than I would have to pay for the needed enginecasting.
The tractor looked fairly good for its age, and I boughtwith full knowledge that it had a bad knock in the engine.At the time I knew very little about John Deere tractors andfelt that the knock would be something rather easy to fix. After Itransported the tractor home and unsuccessfully fielded questionsfrom my two daughters as to why I needed another tractor, myneighbor Tommy Fisher generously offered to store the tractor inhis greenhouse for the winter, and assured me we could get itgoing. If Tommy weren't such a good mechanic and so charitablewith his time, I may have given up on the project long ago.In a few short minutes of engine diagnosis, Tommy found theknock in the engine. It was the result of the left mainbearing's having been run without oil.
The engine had been runlong enough in that condition to hammer the Babbitt metal outthrough the crankshaft journals. Upon dismantling the engine, wediscovered that the crank was badly scored and the piston rodruined. I then went to the '41, which quickly became the partstractor, and removed the perfect crank and babbitted the rods.While we had the '39 engine apart, we replaced the rings andground the valves. The following days were spent adjusting the carburetor and justplain running the engine, trying to get it to smooth out a bit, andto start by hand cranking. One of the amazing discoveries was thatthe engine would run about the same if, after starting it, wedisconnected the right spark plug wire. Yet it would also run, butnot as well, if we reconnected the right plug wire and disconnectedthe left.
I have yet to get an explanation as to why this was thecase, and welcome any light one could shed on the matter.After closer inspection of the magneto, we realized that itneeded a tune-up. The rotor, points, and electrodes on thedistributor cap were very badly eroded. In fact, I'm surprisedthe engine fired at all. After the magneto was renewed, the nextproblem was the throttle. The tractor had two settings, low idleand high idle. After dismantling the governor, we learned that itwas totally worn out because of a blocked oil passage. Thankgoodness for the parts tractor!
We replaced the needed parts fromthe '41. By now the tractor was running pretty well, except itseemed to produce a lot of black smoke and used a copious amount offuel. I repaired the original canvas shutter, which then allowedthe tractor to reach proper operating temperature, and PRESTO! Morepower, less fuel, and no more unsightly smoke.To mechanically complete the restoration, I rebuilt the brakesand the steering. The steering was easy, but the brakes met pullingthe axles and drum housings.
The drum on the right side was badlypitted from rust, so I decided to have it tuned. The machinist at alocal auto parts store could not turn the drum on his lathe, forthe steel was too hard. Fortunately, he was able to grind it down,cleaning it beautifully. I installed new brake shoes from a JohnDeere kit, and now the brakes work as well as their designallows.The final phase was the painting. It took days to strip what wasleft of the old finish and to repair 50 years of dings andscratches. The grilles were very difficult and I had to marry thegood sections of the '41 to the '39 in order to end up witha presentable grille assembly.Finally, I put the last coat of finish on the hood with the helpof a good friend, Greg Phillips. I installed the decals and wasvery proud of the accomplishment, achieved with the help of myfriends.I use the tractor mainly to run my log splitter, which has aPrince power take off pump.
I'm amazed how well it runs it, forthe tractor has limited horsepower (about 13). The explanation towhy the tractor powers the splitter so well, is the kinetic energyit stores in the flywheel. The resistance of a knotty piece of rockmaple just makes the old John Deere pop a little more than usual,until the governor settles down, rather than stall my bigger andmore powerful four cylinder tractors.In closing, one wonders why someone would spend so much time,energy, and money restoring an old tractor of limited value. Aftercommitting sufficient thought to the question, I have concludedthat it must be an attempt to recapture a little bit of the pastthat had a special and indelible meaning. For me, it was thenineteen-fifties, while growing up on a dairy farm in West Chazy,New York.
Area farmers had a practice of exchanging time withneighbors in the fall during silo filling time. This was the mostexciting time of the year.When our silo was being filled, the farm was inundated with newfaces, different ways of doing things, and of course, many brands,colors and models of tractors.
Having worked primarily with AllisChalmers and Farmall tractors with foot clutches, the John Deere Hsowned by my father's late friend, Ralph Recor, were a godsend.The hand clutch was the key; it made my work so much easier. Duringthe silo filling process, most of the adult men were employed inthe fields pitching corn bundles on flat rack hay wagons, cut byour ground driven corn harvester. My job was to drive one of thetractors during the loading process. Since the speed of the loadingprocess was always irregular, it required frequent short stops andsometimes extended stops when the adult conversation turned totopical happenings, such as politics. My adolescent left leg would quickly tire on the foot clutchedtractors, but never on the John Deeres.

The Hs were a cinch tooperate, for all one had to do was pull back on the clutch leverand it would remain in that effortless position until the men hadexhausted their often verbose positions on the topic at hand;remembered their purpose, and resumed their arduous chore.Finally, I would like to give thanks to Eric and Norma Binderwho have encouraged me through the restoration, and allow me toexercise my tractors on their picturesque and historichomestead.
