1936 John Deere A

[@rickshafer4241]

Thanks for sharing. My dad had several 2 cylinder John Deere tractors, buying his first one new in 1941 - he didn't collect them, he farmed with them. He had a 1936 A that he bought used. It was pretty much exactly like this one, but in original condition, not restored. Dad farmed with his 1936 A in the 1950's and 1960's, trading it off on a more modern tractor in 1965. I was 7 years old at that time. I drove the 1936 A raking hay, loading manure (had a manure loader for it), pulling fence posts, and a couple of other things, but I never spent too much time driving it before it was gone. I was just starting to drive tractors at about the time it got traded off. It had good compression and I wasn't strong enough to crank it over - had to park it on a hill and coast it, or else let it run, or else my dad would have to start it. Thanks again.

She’s beautiful! I’d love to have one like that: it’s the year that my daddy was born
