Can someone show us some pics of the two guards. I’m intimately familiar with the old guard with the ledger plates What are the rock guards? I might need to google them. When I was a kid dad had a 1070 Heston with “stub” guards. No ledger and a short point. He later “upgraded” to a 1091? with the old style. For us it was a mistake. Could easily get more done with the 7’ machine than the 9’. It didn’t cut nearly as well and could not go as fast.

Looks like it is the same basic tractor as the 464. You have the right idea. Clean the fuel system. Clean up the points. Fresh gas and battery. Check oil and give it a whirl. I'm guessing that it has the auxiliary pump mounted on the right side of the rear transmission. It bolts onto a round mounting opening in place of the normal blank plate. I could be wrong. Let us know what you find. I have service and I think parts manuals for this tractor.

Heap?? that’s hilarious

Check the connections on the breaker. Any loose connection will create heat. Heat on the breaker connector can cause it to trip.

Dodge - it’s not a name but a warning sign. It’s literally right there on the tailgate - Dodge the parts that fall off going down the road.

First On Race Day see I can do it too…

Indeed it was, I'm thinking 2000-2500 feet per minute was the number.

I don't think the the speed of the belt was as standardized as say the PTO at least not early on. Steam engines will have different sizes of pulleys. The larger engines typically have a larger pulley and run slower. Hit and miss engines have different pulleys available as well. I think part of the reason is that the early tractors and engines didn't have variable speed governors that would allow the engine to run different speeds. I remember dad talking about shredding corn one fall. The neighbor who owned the shredder had bought a new M and thought it was going to be an improvement over the old tractor which was a 10-20, I think. They struggled all morning. It wasn't running fast enough. While most of the neighbors ate their lunch, they went to town and got a bigger pulley. It was a huge improvement. Did Deere offer different pulley sizes? Not sure how that would work with the clutch. Probably not as easy to change?

I am going to start by saying that I’m not personally knowledgeable about the 84 series. However I am somewhat familiar with the 74 series. They were replaced by the 84 and are fairly similar. I would suggest looking over the linkage again because if the problem is not outside the transmission, then you will have a pretty big job ahead of you. I don’t think the transmission top cover can be removed without first removing the cab , seat, and fuel tank. Hopefully it is just a linkage issue on the outside. Not sure if the TA can be repaired without splitting the tractor. I don’t think it can.

Homebrew Electrall? Just never had time to finish the belt drive setup?

I must be getting old. I remember helping unload a few Morton buildings by hand. They had a pretty good system and the drivers knew how to do it. Seems like they wanted 6 men on site. A loader tractor is always handier than people think especially if you have forks for it. I always have the forks on and rarely use the bucket except of course for loose bulk material. I have an extension pole for the forks for lifting things higher like setting trusses etc. The gin pole crane on the truck pictured above would be handy as well and not take up too much space or money.

What kind of manifold does it have? The all fuel manifold will need to be adjusted to the cold setting for gasoline. Unfortunately most of them are no longer able to be adjusted and may leak even if they are on cold. This overheats the air/ fuel charge and can cause pre ignition. Also check for sticking valves when hot. Just pull the valve cover and watch them once warm.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was pretty sure this had been discussed before but just wanted to make sure. I will say that the braided lines look impressive but I didn’t really see the need for them. Thanks again!

I have a leak on a braided fuel return line. It runs from the last injector to a T fitting and then returns to the tank. This is on a 464D. My question is “Is there any reason why I can’t just cut off the crimped band and replace it with a rubber hose?” What was the purpose behind the braided line? I’ve seen other engines with rubber hose. There really shouldn’t be much pressure. TIA

I assume that the coil was replaced as well as the other mag parts. You could certainly have manifold problems. Does it have a good spark when cold? It should jump an 1/8” gap easily, consistently. What does the brushes on the distributor disc look like? Finally, is the magnet strong? It should pick up a piece of 1/4” plate a foot square easily or support itself on the side of a thin piece of metal like a toolbox.
