John Deere Two Cylinder Engine Tractors 1

One of my first jobs was in a machine shop where they rebuilt engines in the old "Poppin' Johnnies". My main job was boring the cylinders which would wear in an oval shape because of the weight of the pistons laying down in a horizontal position.

I remember my dad had two As they were great tractors at the time one you had to start from the fly wheel I could start it when I was about 12 years old .then he bought the 720 power steering what will they think of next we thought that was one tuff tractor I cant amagine how many miles I put on that tractor .

My family bought a Model L I think in 1939. They used it on a small family farm to plow, disc, cultivate, pull a horse drawn mowing machine and a hay rake. They also built a small dozing blade assembly and later pulled a flip scoop which could be an interesting device...specially if you fogot to let go the handles when dumping. Greg

This guy is WRONG about small crawlers. I was born in Yakima and raised on the family orchards in Selah. Jesse Lindeman was a friend of my Grandpa's and we still have the delivery receipt for a Lindeman crawler in 1943. CLETRAC crawlers ruled the roost in the Yakima valley NOT CAT. Lindeman was a CLETRAC dealer in Yakima before the JD deal. His company was YAKIMA IMPLEMENT. Model W's and K-20 CLETRAC'S were found everywhere. Cats were the EXEPTION not the rule. There were also T20 McCormick Deering crawlers found.

As an Ex employee of the competition,I can say without pause that the John Deere company and product are made BY superior people,and are USED by superior people who only want the best for America. Catterpeetter is a multinational giant with all the familial warmth of a Hyenas Den,and the business morals of Satan himself.
OUHHHHH RAHHHHH Johnny Popper. You put food on our tables and make America Great. All Cat has EVER done is pay subsistance wages,demand mandatory overtime, and treat their employees like 3rd world gimmee-grants.
