That right there is why the D was the favorite plow tractor of of thousands of farmers from 1923-1953 and beyond. Given good soil conditions it would pull a four bottom plow all day and under the worst conditions it would still pull a 3 bottom.
About 40 years ago i bought a JD F-135 i think the model was semi mounted plow that would not scour in our heavy soil, JD plows always did , found out the previous owner had replaced the mallbords with cheap solid steel TSC instead of the soft center original JD mallbords ,put JD mallbords on & it cleaned right up .
that John deere D sounds great like that 😊😊 can U hear it talking I can then when it's plowing it gets in a pull then it sounds even better singing 🎶 😊 let it talk and sing both I enjoy it myself 😊😅🎉😂❤😊 /😊😊🎉🎉❤😊 OMG 1O 9 2O23
Grand dad har an R, and a D and a 620 and two 730 diesels and a 820 diesel and a 830 diesel . Oh yeah he was big time share cropping in the late 60’s and on into the mid 70’s and every one of those tractors were antiques then.
Nice running tractor, I had one in my younger days, the D is an awesome tractor. Too bad this owner didn’t put on an original exhaust instead of that straight pipe, it makes that D sound weird, not the way a D should sound.
That’s why even though the big R diesel was supposed to be it’s replacement, demand and back orders were so high they finally built the last hundred or so of them in 1953 in an alley between the factory buildings after their production line was dismantled. (That’s where the term streetcar D’S comes from)
Those two big 5 pound coffee can sized pistons are playing sweet music! I miss my days on a 820 and 830 pulling a 13’ John Deere disk.

Yup good old machines still have my dad's 1952 I pulled a 3 bottom in greywooded soil
You gotta love that. Start the load at an idle and then push up the throttle. Not many machines today will do that

Good running tractor. Good looking outfit too.
That D seems to handle that plow effortlessly. I like to hit my plow bottoms with a wire cup brush first to help them shine up initially.

Moves along nicely pulling four!

That’s bad ass, gotta be more than 502 cubes.
After plowing we greased our plows, unless there was a sandy bottom nearby to scour them up.
The strange thing is that is Sandy ground, I'm not sure why the plow wouldn't scour
It's interesting how much you would have to spend to get a new tractor to pull this same plow.
Three Plow Tractor Pulling Four
Iv pullers 4 with mine

In light soil
Old D damn near yanked that plow in the ground from a dead stop.
In 2nd gear too or maybe 3rd. Holy
Love that sound
