What an awesome piece of machinery that is. When manufacturers took pride in their work and things lasted forever. I love going to our local steam show and seeing old running machinery thats been around for 100 plus years. Thanks for walking us through this.

Brings tears to your eyes!

Beautiful, my grandpa had one, man times have changed,

One of my favorite sounds, an old John Deere two cylinder tractor. Reminds me of my childhood.

Back in the day this was high tech. Now it's artwork and classical music! Somehow I really doubt 80 years from now, people will be ranting and raving over something made today. Beautiful!

My neighbor had one of those he just kept in the pasture and fired it up about once or twice a year to knock the weeds down it was funny to listen to that thing put put around .

Had a 1948 styled with big fenders. Had to hand start a few times. Took the steering wheel off and put a lug in that matched the flywheel center to crank counter clockwise. Takes some mussel but got the job done. Great old tractors. H.

I remember being at my grandfather's farm as a kid in the '60s watching him hand start his John Deere G's. I was always impressed that he could hand start these tractors. Don't think I ever started one myself, but I remember pulling the flywheel over slowly wondering how he did it. Good memories.....

My daddy had one of these old John Deer tractors. It’s the first tractor that I learned to start and drive on our farm. I just didn’t know what year the old tractor was. Your tractor is a perfectly identical to the one that I had to crank up I haven’t forgotten about those pet cocks to open up on both sides of the tracker to help relieve the compression so that it wouldn’t be so hard to crank it flywheel up by hand. 😎 May the lord bless you and your family too! Also remember that you should never wear long lose clothes when you are cranking the flywheel on your tractor 🚜 always try to be safe.

Standing next to the spinning flywheel in a loose shirt, isnt your brightest idea there.

i can see why you want to make sure it's in neutral ! lol !

First thing I thought was tuck in your shirt. Old farm machines didn't have many safety guards. Exposed chains, belts, flywheels and PTO shafts can mame or kill.

No sir you are not correct the unstyled A ended in 38 but they continued to produce the G unstyled until 1942 they only made 600 serial numbers roughly that year due to the start of WWII they then changed to the GM and started the styled version after that. This tractor is in the last 600 produced before the switch.
