Gmerrill0516 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I guess I need to take some pictures of Dad's JD's. He's got a GP, A, and 2 B's. He still mows and cuts and splits the fire wood with them. The A and GP are hand start. As long as you know the trick, they start on the second cylinder up every time. They start better than the electric start B's. They are simple, durable and reliable as hell. You can't drag a 30' sied harrow with them but when horses fell out of favor in many farms all over the country, they were remarkably well designed machines for their day. I love the hand clutch...if it's in good working order they work slick. If they are sloppy, you can smash you fingers on the headlight. That is an experience you never forget. Purple fingers and loading hay all day don't go together very well. Ouch.
