Antique John Deere Tractors, how to find one

February 19th, 2009 | Tags: , , ,

When you want to buy a decent tractor, look at antique John Deere tractors for sale if you want to find something special. The popularity of these antique John Deere tractors is readily explained if you see the way they are styled and designed, with their classic, oldschool John Deere logos and sturdy looks. John Deere himself was born over two centuries ago, 1804, in the great state of Vermont. The steel plow was his first design, at age 33. The tractor was built from molten steel, extracted from sawmills. The production then radically increased, up to over a hundred plows by five years later, building up to four thousand ten years after that. The business he had set was to be found in Illinois, in Moline. When Deere died in 1886, the business was overtaken by his son. A merger with Waterloo Gasoline Engine Co and Deere and Company saw Deere make the leap into the tractor producing field. As for antique John Deere tractors, it is interesting to know that the Model A is the Deere fan’s number one make. Other models include the Models B; G; L; LA; H and M.

Knowledge about the B model antique John Deere tractor is almost as widespread as the A model. Revealed at the end of 1934, this medium-sized tractor utilizes 2-cylinder engines. In 1935, the official release occurred, and the properties include steel wheels, and five gears, including a reverse. The weight is about 1300 KGs with 149 inch cubed motor displacement. Of this batch, the first two thousand were only equipped with four bolts which were connecting the steering wheel close to the radiator. The rarity of only four, as opposed to the later eight bolts makes this make very popular.

Between 1935 and 1938, the Model B antique John Deere tractor did not have any style properties such as a grill or radiator coverage. The very first batch of Model B came with a brass-made serial no plate, which is why they were dubbed “Brass Tag” tractors. 57,000 of these machines were made before they stopped making them after three years.
A new engine improvement in 1939 enlarged it to up to 175 inches cubed, with a total weight approximating to 1500 kg. This year, grills were introduced too, as well as rear and front lights becoming an additional choice. Behind the fuel tanks, the battery was stored. Antique John Deere tractor lovers are well aware of the electrification of this year’s machine.

More radical changes in the appearance of the tractor were made during the 1941-47 period. The diameter of the P.T.O shaft was increased to 1.38 in. Also this year the material of the front frame to cast iron. Shortly, this was reversed, probably because of material shortages imposed by a WWII society. The draw bar was increased in strength.
If antique tractors are too much of a liability, consider used tractors for sale from after 1947. In that year, the Model B was overhauled once again. The battery location was altered to the seat, for example. It was dubbed Late Styled B. Obvious alterations are a pressed steel frame and the battery location. An electric starter was introduced, and the weight of the tractor of this type could exceed two tons, with a lot of extra features. Over one hundred thousand B Models were made with these functions. 1952 saw the introduction of the model 50, which is markedly different from the B model and closer to modern standards.
