I'm 64 years old. My earliest memories are of going into my sister's bedroom after supper and listening to my dads and neighbors 2 cylinder John Deere tractors working in the Cotton Fields Northeast ⁰Arkansas upper Mississippi River Delta
I grew up on a farm in northern Illinois back in the 50's & 60's and your right you could hear a John Deere working a field all night long. I know I did many 20 hour days in the spring and the fall. That's for sure.
I have many hours operating John Deere, G's, 70's, 720's and 730's. My dad was a cotton farmer in Texas and we had all those tractors. Our farm was pretty big, dad would buy two tractors at a time, because he could get a better deal. When I was 14, my brother and I had our own G's we each drove. Many hours following each other across those big cotton fields cultivating cotton.
Yep I remembered as a kid we had a neighbor with popping Johnny's and there was streaks of clay in that field you could hear the old tractor it was three Pips and two blips it would pull down blip blip then pip pip pip blip blip pip pip pip my old man used to laugh at them never knew why I do now that's because we had international 756, 826, 966, 1086 and 1466
Haven't seen anything anywhere on a model 70 gas. I own a 1955 70 rowcrop gas that my grandpa grew up driving. His father sold it to their neighbors in the late 50s early 60s and he went and bought it back in the 80s and drove it the 2 hours from Princeton minnesota to the sodak boarder. It now has sat since 2 years before I inherited it when he passed 5 years ago. Has not yet seized as we've flooded the cylinders with oil. Haven't had the time to figure what went wrong when my granpa was still putting around on it.

I'm 21 and I love plowing with a 1948 J I Case LA.
I have a 1953 jd 60 love to hear it run.
I love the old John Deere 2 cylinder diesels. The sound is as American as the the the Harley Davidson v-twin.
Music to my ears

My father still has his. Was the first thing I ever drove.
I got Classic Tractor Fever!!!
Glad I've got a 47' A with the electric starter. Of course it's not in the best condition but that's why we're doing the restoration.

Can anyone tell me what year John Derre changed to the styleized I think they call it?
Can you upload the 1206 feature?
I knew Nelson and hoey Gooch.
Someone buy that man a new hat. Good lord
Not sure that John Deere 720 diesel needs weights in the front, it should easily pull a 5 bottom plow.
In sand down hill
Do any of you that ran those tractors for a lot of hours have any heating left🤣

"and drove it the 2 hours from Princeton to the sodak border"
IMPOSSIBLE to do it anywhere near 2 hours.
Thjat would be a LONG drive on a 70 JD.

Fricken junk, buy a farmall instead
Austin Dillinger shiiiiiit
You can buy a farmall but farmalls are just to look at
seats do suck, but red power is the best
love my farmall m with a loader and narrow front >:D
+john dowe no John deere is better. you see more of them that are still dependable and work on farms as a main tractor
