John Deere tractors and lawn supplies can be from a range of years. Some people have antiques that came from the 40s.
You can find schematics for a John Deere X324 lawn tractor in the operator's manual that came with the machine. If you don't have the manual, you can usually find it on the John Deere website by searching for the model number. You may also find schematics in a service manual or by contacting a John Deere dealer for assistance.
This is the hydraulic system that most 2-cylinder john deere tractors came with that uses pressurized oil from the engine to raise or lower pocker arms that ar connected to an implement that can be raised or lowered, a plow out of the ground for example.
In that particular year, the model '50' John Deere came equipped with 4 saddle hookups. Most people only pull theirs with 1 horse, but you could attach 3 more to it, quadrupling your horse power.
Back in the day, John's wife would ask him "John deer, please go mow the grass. John Deer please go plow the fields." So John Deer got tired of the physical labor and invented the tractors and equipment. For a serious answer look here http://www.deere.com/en_US/compinfo/student/logoentrypage.html
Just did an oil change and it came out to about 2.5 us Gal. The filter is john deere # T19044.
John Deere tractors are most commonly green with yellow wheels. Other tractors were from time-to-time painted customly yellow or orange for customers such as state highway departments, but nowadays most ag tractors are green and yellow and most construction equipment is yellow.
Gap is generally 0.028 - 0.030" and yours probably came at about 0.045" which means it will have to be tapped lightly to decrease the gap.
I have heard the story told that John Deere started tithing (giving 10% of his income) by faith, even though it was challenging at first. God prospered him and he increased his giving to 20%, then 30%, and so on until he was giving away 80 or 90% of his income. I'm looking for an objective source, too, which is how I came to this site.
I am not sure what the question is exactly. The original Deere 111 was made from 1979 to 1985. It had an 11 HP Briggs engine and came in a gear version all years and a hydro version in later years. For info see the link below:
He started a blacksmith shop in Vermont...which led to his great reputation...and so on and so on. If you want 'the rest of the story' try Deere & Company's website: http://www.deere.com/en_US/compinfo/history/johndeere.html
I can not find any important advances in agriculture that occurred in 1848. John Deere's steel plow came about 10 years earlier as did the mechanical threshing machine.
