Reviving an ABANDONED John Deere Model M - Part 1

Join us on the farm as we kick start the revival of my dad's 1950 John Deere Model M tractor, abandoned for over 15 years. Will it start and drive .138 miles? (not very far) We'll navigate a customized starter setup, tackle a mysterious electrical system, and wrestle with the worst carburetor I've ever seen. 00:00 Opening 00:26 Setup 01:53 Sit Rep 04:50 Health and Safety 05:22 Preparation 08:58 CONTACT! 09:57 A Discovery of Electrons 12:24 Starter Maybe 13:36 After the Break 15:52 Day 03 (Week 2) 18:08 Starter Button 18:45 The Solenoid 21:18 Ignition 23:26 Start-ish 25:06 Boat Tank 26:06 Carb-O-Crap 26:54 Carb Rebuild? 27:46 ReStart 28:18 The Drive Home #revival #homestead #farm #cows #ranch #vehicle_maintenance #car_maintenance #pasture #hobby_farm #family_farm #tractor #john_deere #model_m #tractor_revival #abandoned_tractors #will_it_run #6v_to_12v_conversion #starter_solenoid #positive_ground #positive_ground_vs_negative_ground #abandoned #abandoned_tractor #abandonedtractor #willitrun #greenpower #sickelbar #will_it_run #roadkilltractor #TractorRestoration #farmlife #RestorationProject #HeritageFarming #VintageMachines #OldIron #RepairAndRestore #oldtractors #BarnFind
