In the mid 50's, one morning I was sitting out under a tree and in the distance a John Deer was towing a hay bailer. As it came up the field against a slight hill, it started blowing perfect smoke rings. The sound of the tractor, along with the birds, cows mooing in the distance is something I'll remember until I die.

That's a sweet video, we all like to hear them work doing what they were made to do.

My Late Grandpa sho had a JD Model A just like yours! He would have told you, "Good God A Mighty Boy, you ain't in trouble with that tough spot. Yo JD will pull you up and out of ditches with Johnny Poppin' 2 Stroke Power to spare!"

Imagine fitting one of these with a Power Block, a Heisler head and Johnson manifold with a Carburetor off of a G to feed it. That's how you handle 3-14s with an A and recover like that. Little over 54 hp. Do the same thing to a G and you got about 74 hp. You had to use Automotive regular and not Farm gasoline in both. This is also a Cyclone A which had better pistons and compression to begin with than All Fuel Long Hood As. The gasoline 70s had a 376 CI were as the all fuel 70 used the 412 ci from the G. Doing all of that to an All Fuel G or 70 gave you more power than the gas 376 in the 70 Despite it having a 2 bbl Carburetor. I don't recall a 2 bbl intake for the all fuel engines or a Heisler head for the 376 ci 70, 302 ci 60, but they may have. The 60 handled a 3-14 without issue so few farmers did much or didn't see the need to coax more power from their much improved number series tractor.

Pulling 3 furrow plough in quite a high gear but the long stroke engine develops high torque as the revs drop.
