1949 John Deere Model BW
rating
1.7
Posted 08/22/2014
by Roy Crane
Model year: 1949 Date Purchased: 2000-04-15 Number of Hours: ??

"The tractor was in tough shape, just barely running. I wanted the wide front end to accommodate a front end loader more safely. The mechanical problems have been mostly corrected. I found a model 45W front end loader. I converted the drop bucket mechanism to hydraulic cylinders. I added a live hydraulic pump with a ten gallon reserve tank. Now the steering is too heavy, so I am adding power steering next."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: It is fun having an old 2 cylinder tractor that can be used for moving manure around. I love the sound of these old machines. Cons: It has taken a lot of work, engineering and cost to get to where I would like it. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA MA I also considered buying:

Pros: Really a nice little tractor. Cons: When you restore a old tractor it takes a lot of time and money. Type of User: Homeowner 100+ Acres Location: USA SD I also considered buying:
