I was told that there was only one piece of equipment that John Deere wouldn't stand behind.
The manure spreader. -

An old pal of mine used to refer to his 50 H-D FL as a "Hogley-Ferguson" after the tractor company Massey-Ferguson. That was due to his bike's tractor-like performance. He geared it very low with a 3-speed/reverse tranny for winter 3rd-wheel use. One time we were out riding and his head-light burned out. He said: "Let's stop at that tractor dealership and see if they have a bulb that will fit." I said: "They won't." But danged -they did have one!
Somewhere I have a nice photo of him on that bike. Flat black with a stock spring fork.Comment

Good stuff! Lets put that photo up.
I'd love to see an area or thread with a bunch of photos showing pictures of engines as found. Generator, belt drive, irrigation, lumber saw, washing machine, snow mobile.
Anybody else got some? This could be a good starting point for Professor Hecker reports. He needs material ya know.Comment

Did anybody see the Harley "Farmboy" at Davenport a few years ago? John Deere colors and tractor wheels. Winters are long and cold in those parts.Comment
