Good one lol how much more is the 4 cylinder model, ( sales man) I heard ten years , they have warehouses full of 2 cyl engines. The neighbor told me that same salesman told him it’s half the price to overhaul 2 versus 4 cylinders !
I’ll buy it I wish they still made this equipment. It was so much simpler back then and even if it’s not gonna be a good farm tractor now I wish I’d still make it for pulling.
Old farmer down the road when I was a kid fell off backwards off the seat of his JD 60 and got disked up by the implement. Found him in little chunks spread all along. This old farm machinery were death traps. It’s always amazed me more farmers weren’t injured and killed by them.
@@24681359David The best guess is that he fell asleep and couldn't catch himself after he lost his balance. I guess it looked like it dragged him quite a ways while he fought to get back onto the tractor while he was tangled in the disk, but being an older man, he wore out and never made it.
@@DuboisWyomingAirportConstructi Fell asleep? How could you possibly fall asleep? Sounds like he had some kind of medical emergency to me. The only way this could have been prevented is a seat sensor. This was not the machine's fault. 100% operator error.
@@24681359David I’m just telling you what I heard in about 1970 or so. The guy is dead after falling off his tractor, which didn’t have a seat sensor or a cab. It was his fault, not the tractor. It’s not that hard to do, I’m surprised it didn’t happen more. Do your own investigation if you want, Tok AK, 1969 or 1970 I think is when/where it happened. Tractors didn’t have seat sensors or cabs back then. When we got a tractor with a cab we thought we were really living large. Maybe he popped the clutch, I don’t know.
That's the selling point. If you've ever heard one in person, you'll never forget the sound. My family has 3 of these. We go to old plow days. There might be 50 old tractors in the field. You can hear that Johny Popper over the rest, on the other side of the field.
That's exactly what you did back then. Disc down the stubble, plow, disc again twice, harrow, plant, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, pick. Start over again. Minimum 10 trips across any corn field.
Deere didn't invent the rollamatic, the designer offered it to IH first , but they declined it, thats how deere got it, another selling point which was not documented is most kids could drive it , both hands on clutch lever, pull, then stand on brakes , tractor stops .
Boys are getting all exited over those rollamatic wheels ,"another John Deere first" ,the first and only one . If only Bill and Mr Jennings had checked out a Farmall .
That's interesting that the older John Deere B was "only" $900 to overhaul the engine. Considering the bigger new one was only $1,900 I might just buy a new one instead. Moreover, the "old" one was probably only about $1,500 new.

They had more cab room back then, they had no cab

I have my Dad's 49' A. He's owned it since the late 50's. I'm working on restoring it now. This is interesting haha.
If only John Deere could see what his company have become.
If only he had lived to even see a single tractor, or even see one with his name
I’d imagine he’s rolling in his grave over the stolen designs, and right to repair ordeal
I've run an B, an A and a 70. Both gas and diesel. They were fine tractors and some still are. Great video.
We have a 60 and D they bolth are still working to this day
I’ll buy it I wish they still made this equipment. It was so much simpler back then and even if it’s not gonna be a good farm tractor now I wish I’d still make it for pulling.
I've driven a A and a B as well as a 50 and 60 John Deere tractors pulling hay wagons in Indiana. Wayyyyy back when I was a kid.
Well we all couldn't wait until tomorrow. Now look what tomorrow brought
True that.
A man had to be a certain age before he could wear a hat, apparently. Love the way things used to be.
I would love it if farming was still like this
Great find, I love the old B's.
I've got a 1948 B and it's original except for a repaint when it was about 20 !
Truly. The good old days. Thanks for sharing.
This is great. Bill was so smart he knew his gender. Something kids have trouble with today 🤔
I grew up on the farm with these and older john deere tractors. good stuff. yes I always respected everyone. its the way its done.
(Posted by Rick Pickell) There is something about John -Deere equipment that has Cadillac class built into each piece of that equiptment.
Too bad JD doesn’t have Mercedes class designs.
Good looking 1919 model car!
Back then there is no way someone would go from a Farmall to a John Deere. He must have had an A.C.
Ive driven both. I'd take the Deere
Surrrrrrre you have!!
If you wanted a tractor with a lift for a three point like any sane person would.
Bill- having flashbacks
Mr. Jennings (Tom) -ya know I can’t see your flashbacks...
Remember when "kids" were respectful humans, and not little entitled dirtbags? Ah, the good times........
You just described my sister...
A little entitled dirtbag.

Nicer tractors than a modern Deere
Now we're not even allowed to work on them!
I was going to say that the car needed a tune-up but then I realized I was hearing the tractor off screen.

My Gravely garden tractor has a hand clutch. I prefer it.
