[Mac&Homelite]

If all goes as planned, I will be buying a 1939 John Deere B this Saturday. [emoji3] [emoji609]

It's not a john deere saw, but it will suffice I guess.

Oooh, project or a runner?

I think the homelite is a 500 but won't know for sure until they are mine.

Runs good, in fact, I plan on driving it home, the dude only lives like 6 miles from me.

It will drive a saw mill off the belt pulley.

Hand start

Hope it's setup correctly for starting. Valves open, key off, turn over a few times with choke on. Key on, half choke and turn over to start. If all fails, pull start with truck.

Don't forget to oil the magneto oil cup, don't want that to go dry.

When we pressure washed our old 3020, found a grease fitting, never knew it had one for the clutch, do now.

A Mac 47 a Lancaster 40-IL a homelite 500 and a partner P26 scored this afternoon. Anyone want one? I'm not keeping them just rescuing them from the scrapyard.

Nope. Only way to shut it off it to stop the fuel supply

Is that factory? I've never looked at any of our hand start Deeres to know, I've got a hand or battery start leader tractor and it has a key that has to be on to run.

Yes it came factory without a key or kill switch or any electronics, only thing that makes it run is a magneto and two plugs.
