Re: weak moment
I think the flywheel may be a drive pulley for a leather belt to run implements...this was before PTO's !! Not sure about an old Deere though....Whitetop...water heated under pressure beyond 212F creates steam that is useable...as long as it remains under pressure it can be controlled and used....when it's not under pressure it boils at 212 F...boiling point goes up as pressure goes up.....when you take 250 degree water under pressure and realease the pressure thtu a break in the boiler...ALL the water turns to steam NOW with bomb-like results. Imagine piloting a steam engine back then with that huge boiler in front of you...there were no ooops when it came to low water level !

Re: weak moment
If I remember correctly there is a compression petcock on the back side of that flywheel, or there abouts. You open the petcock to get it on the compression stroke by turning that flywheel. That's how you start it. Most everything else, Farmall, Allis Challmbers etc, had hand cranks out the front that when they kicked back, broke your wrist. Jezz, somebody wake up moparts. He's a Deere dealer I think. We just built those big red axial flow combines,
And Bob, it's a petcock, not a pet cock.

Re: weak moment
We had an old John Deere on the farm in the 50's and my dad used to grind corn off the flywheel for the animals. Hooked about a 30' belt to the flywheel and to the corn grinder. A lot of dust and noise. Man....The good old days!

Re: weak moment
I'm not a Deere expert, but most belt pulleys were seprate from the fly wheel as you had to throw them in, and out of gear. The one on our Farmall M ran off the PTO lever and you kicked the clutch to engage, or disengage. That Deere has a hand clutch, and I think the used a seprate wider pulley that should mount on the side of the frame.
Bob, studies show 90% of the male population indulges in masturbation, and the remaining 10% are liers.

Re: weak moment
Don't interupt me dammit..I was talking to Rosy Palm......the Allis Chalmers has a belt pulley on the frame...you have to loosen a lock bolt and pull the pulley out about 3 inches to engage it and then run the PTO...pretty weird deal..
