    I’ve used a 60 and a 7’ woods blade for 45 years with just the two top link knuckles and a 3/4” bolt. Similar to your first setup. I would not want any blade to be loose goosy like your second setup. How does it work in reverse? I imagine not at all? I can swing my blade 180 and use it s a dozer. Never had a snow storm I could not handle this way.

    I went to an auction the other day to buy a John Deere Model D and a Model A was being auctioned just in front of it - was not bringing very much so I felt like I had to bid it up because the price was so low (it was sitting at $700 with no bid) so long story short I ended up with it - got it for $1,250 and I also ended up getting the D as well. It's a 1949 in good shape, the owner was 91 years old and at one time he had 21 John Deere Tractors and kept his favorite 4 but at 91 and with his health it was time for him to get rid of the last 4 so I ended up with two of them. I now have 6 John Deere tractors plus a John Deere Hit and Miss Engie. The A starts right up and sounds great (he put a straight pipe on it with no traditional exhaust) - it does need some attention here and there but is overall a great tractor and I'm glad I ended up with it. Thanks for the video - I learned a lot about the model A from this.

    Dad bought me an R diesel as my 10th birthday present to do fieldwork spring of 1964. He got the Deere 4-14 plow the salesman said it would pull, but the salesman's idea of pulling a plow was different than our's. First 40 acre field of old alfalfa hay ground we pulled into Dad was running 3rd gear, 5 mph with an IH #8 3-14 and the R struggled in 2nd gear with 4-14's, on one hill I had to stop and shift into first gear to climb the hill. After that Dad had me pull our other IH #8 3-14, could run 3rd gear, and even in old corn ground I had to stop on some hills and shift to 2nd. I'd never heard anywhere before that the live pto on the R was only rated for 15 hp, but I believe it. I needed hydraulics for everything I did with the R, first thing I did was engage the pto to get those " Live hydraulics" Township road commissioner bought our R before we were even done plowing that spring, I plowed 16 acres of old corn ground with the FARMALL Super M-TA and the 4-14 Deere plow. A Deere 80 or 830 would have been a huge improvemment over the R. The Road Commissioner tore up the R's pto gear train FOUR TIMES running a 4 or 5 ft rototiller chewing up pieces of scarified oiled dirt roads to rebuild them every couple years. Once a year the R was laid up a couple weeks. 4th time the R was sold, replaced with an OLIVER 770 diesel. 15 hp is NOTHING, WE had a 1939 FARMALL H that made about 30 pto hp. Our FARMALL M made 48 hp on the dyno one spring, the SMT-A did 47. The pounding of the exhaust from the R was terrible, the muffler was terrible, after an hour running the R my ears would ring for 5-6 hours even after I parked it for the day. Had a neighbor with a 730 diesel, lived a quarter mile away, I could hear that 730 idling in HIS yard like it was in OUR yard. Part of my Birthday present was the Char-Lynn power assist steering Dad added onto our R. It helped but not enough. Dad bought a FARMALL 450 the following spring, it was a REAL 4 bottom tractor. It did burn a lot of gas, but did a LOT of work every day in spring. Dad replaced the 450 with a 4010 diesel he bought at auction. Any day I ran it to a field AND RAN IT HOME afterwards was a good day. I worked enough for neighbors to know the 4020's were a completely different animal, they still had some bugs left but not the number that the 4010 had.
