This is a great approach to a video! Actually teach people who are maybe new to the hobby a few pertinent facts. The other approach that I like to see is vintage tractors working in the field with vintage implements. Let;'s give the implements some of the same love we're giving the tractors!

Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during these trying times...

[@tomnekuda3818]

The sound of a two-cylinder John Deere always brings me home. I wish I had one just to start up and listen to it.....brings back all the memories of my Dad and Mom, my brothers, and the farm.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

The last version on the D.. The "Streeter" D is a very collectible and valuable piece as well..

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

I could spend a million dollars on a resto & you best believe it still wouldn't be a trailer queen. Neat video, thanks!

[@iksexplorationsfollower2588]

What a neat little tractor, would be one of the better old model I've seen, like it.

[@b.a.brackus6371]

Good video! very knowledgeable gentlemen👍

In the 1950s, hiways put up signs along highway 83 in the swan river valley prohibiting lugged wheels. I grew up south of Benito , Manitoba on a farm right by that highway. We had a Minneapolis Moline Z and a model 620 Johnny popper.

Thanks also.

[@JAlvisllc]

more videos with this guy. great approach

[@7viewerlogic670]

Great video!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

I believe the Spoker D is the first version of the D.. And likely worth the most and most collectible..

[@ballardja1972]

Very well put 👍🇺🇸

[@hombredeacero3131]

Johnny popper man that brings back memories

[@ohioplowboyhawk6738]

So true

[@KubotaBXathome]

Great show

[@darrelcdammann]

I agree with Chris, a tractor is made to work... completely original rust and all.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Cool.

[@chevyon37s]

“It’s only original once” -some auctioneer. I’ve herd that from many different auctioneers, usually trying to sell a pile of scrap iron in the shape of a tractor.

[@powderriver2424]

Drew w sounds just like a garage sale in New York...it’s an antique it’s worth more than it originally sold for which is code for I can’t sell it to you cheap because you may re-sell it and make more money than me.

[@Cole-xq2tl]

Wonder if nickel hole D would still be worth as much if the flywheel had been replaced in its working life?

[@Nando_PG]

i want one in farming simulator!

[@gullreefclub]

it takes a true collector to appreciate the rarity of it ?????

[@lawnmowerdude]

Well that’s the same with anything. If you appreciate the rarity you are a true collector.

[@rubenbraekman4515]

And if you had a runaway engine you could just put a steel bar through the spokes...

[@don66hotrod94]

The problem was 2 cylinder design was faulty from the beginning, it took until 1960 to figure that out. Good video though.

[@keithmartin1627]

Popping John’s were great tractors. I don’t know you but I can tell your young. Well I was young once too and probably said just as stupid stuff. Go in Peace

[@don66hotrod94]

@@keithmartin1627 I guess 70 is young. Thanks for the compliment!

[@ramshackleshack751]

We have all different brands. I enjoy all of them. John Deere sold on simplicity. Less parts. More simple.

[@wesleycallison2079]

I agree but I didn't want to stir sh-- ! Haha

[@ronkennedy8676]

Don 66Hotrod In what way do you think i the two cylinder John Deere was faulty
