    That is so cool a John Deere tractor from the 1930s that survived

    Riding all day on that or working behind a Mule. That’s a no-brainer. We had a 1952 Allis Chalmers with a very similar “ spring-tooth” cultivator. They work beautifully, especially for rocks and other problems. Anything from the early 1900’s will outlive anything made recently.

      Still is.
      In over 75 years of operation, how many times over do you think it's paid for itself?
      Now show me the modern machine that lasts a third of that.

    I love it. Also amusing to see the polarized response. Can't say whether I would restore it or keep it original. The old look grows on you and it's true, you can't get it back and can't recreate it. Maybe wet sand and clear coat, but also repair anything mechanical that's wrong with it.

    That tractor looks just like my father's except ours had the wide rear steel wheels. I believe it was a 38. Our cultivator I believe had coil springs on the back. It did a lot of work for us in the 60s and 70s. But to sit on it all day long and work fields was very tiring. But I have many good memories.

    This tractor is in amazing condition! Why would anyone "restore" it? Besides, its his, and he likes it. My Grandfather had a B, and my Dad had an A and B that we used for harrowing, raking, and baling. Loved the ol' 'Johnny poppers'. Thanks for sharing.

    Well sir a farmer would get the idea to have more kids which equates to more farm hands. Well the farm hands have to eat too and that cuts into the profits and of course there can only be so much improvement in production. And then along comes the tractor. Well now the framer can get more production and if he can acquire more tractors the farm hands can run those tractors around the clock and therefore make better production. And of course old dobbin gets a break as he doesn't wear out and of course old dobbin can be retired and sold off and there goes the feed expense as the tractor needs no fuel when it is not used. I viewed a documentary about the dust bowl and as the price of wheat dropped after WWI the farmers just increased production. But of course mother nature stepped in and showed the farmers who was boss.
