John Deere Tractors

Enjoyed a family day at the State Fair of Texas over in Dallas. They have a display of old tractors going on. Neat seeing those vintage models.

Note the big new one with the eight giant tires. That would be a fun one to drive around. :) (Someone posed their kid in one of the wheels for a photo)
 
Hey All,

Tractors!!:medals: I like the hi-crop and yeah a 9530 would be fun to drive a bit. Did you go around the rest of the day singing...

John Deere makes a fairly good tractor, but my blood is Farmall red.. ;)
 
Hey All,

OK so if you don't like that song try this one!

Some Farmalls in here.

I grew up on a Farmall H and M and a Ford 8n and a MinneMo and a Case LA so I'm not really a Deere guy either.

I learned to drive at 13 on a Farmall Super C that we had to hand crank to start. Stalling it out with the clutch just made me have to get back on the hand crank so I learned to work the clutch pretty fast. Now, I work on my Father in Law's Super A and Cubs when he has a problem with them. I might have to work on one once a year. And usually not the same one.
 
That's real cool. I'd have a field day with my camera at something like that. There's just somethin about old tractors that's really neat. :ernae:
 
My uncles and older cousins had tractors galore. Old Farmall, Massey-Ferguson, Alice Chalmers, Fords, John Deere, Case, International, International Harvester. The one tractor I have the fondest memories of was my grandpa's 50 series Alice Chalmers from the 50s. That tractor would start in a second in warm weather, in 3 seconds when it was way below freezing. Could run that tractor all day and she never complained.

I have always had the dream of having a little farm, 40 acres or so...just enough land for a nice garden, to raise a few cattle, a few hogs, a chicken coop, a little field of corn for feed, some hay. And on that farm I would want 3 tractors....a 50 series Alice like my grandpa had, a nice old Ford tractor...not the blue ones but the gray with blue trim....like on Green Acres...and a nice Farmall to make sure there was enough muscle for the heavy work.

My wife likes my dream..well, the chicken coop part of it at any rate...she has always dreamed of gathering eggs with a little basket on her arm...probably from watching Wizard of Oz about a million times.

For those thqat love tractors check out RFDTV, they have tractor collection shows several times a week normally followed by a tractor pull.
 
I grew up working on a farm in Ohio . We used John Deers , Farmalls , and had an OLD Ford we just used to pull the hay wagons around . In 1933 my Grandfather was killed on an old tricycled wheeled tractor similar to the one in your pics(Upper left) in the rolling hills of West Virginia . He went out one morning in the old tri wheeled(He borrowed) to work the fields and he never came home that evening . A neighbor found him . The tractor had rolled over and into a small ditch and crushed him . The old tri's were VERY dangerous . I don't think they make them anymore , do they ?

RFDTV is one of the few channels I do watch. Mostly for the horse shows, but the antique tractors and trucks are good too. Now if the Wings Channel was to come back, I'd watch it too.

Crusader, I don't believe that the trikes are made any more. That old Farmall Super C we had was one and I got myself into a couple of hairy situations with it a time or two.
 
While Tricycle tractors could be dangerous, they sure were pretty. My uncle Raymond had a huge Farmall tri that he loved more than all the other tractors he had ever used. He would let no one else run it...that was HIS tractor. My cousins and I got into a lot of trouble using that Farmall as part of a tennis ball launcher....we ran flex hose from the exhaust stack on the tractor to a piece of PVC pipe. We'd stick a tennis ball in the PVC pipe, rev up the Farmall and allow the exhaust pressure to build up and blow the tennis ball across the yard. Yep, we got a serious switchin for that.


I wish we could get RFDTV....well we can, but we have to pay for it.

Let the sleeping thread awake

with a video. I enjoy old tractors :)

I'll be doing a fun ground up restoration on a John Deere 140/H3, soonish :wavey:
 
Hey All,

Curse you OleBoy! :mixed-smiley-010:

A thread this old led me to discover this:


Another hobby to blow money on when I get old. I'm near 60 now.

That said aviation and agriculture are what I do love.

Them AG toys likely cost as much as the real, or close. Close to the vintage prices anyway, huh?

No need to fret, Ed. There are AA meetings for that!:encouragement:
Myself, I think I'm having a mid-life flashback!! Can't stop now!
