I remember them being shown in our small town theatre. There was a man who travelled with the movie and he later made it big, but I can’t remember his name. Do you?

Never got to drive a John Deere. My Dad was an Allis Chalmers man at heart, though he had a Farmall MD for most of the heavy work. The '38 Allis Chalmers WC he had was more primitive than the John Deeres! No electric or hydraulics. He hated John Deere because of the light front end. Having seen these old videos, I understand the design much better than I did as a youngster and agree with the simplicity and ability to easily repair it yourself without having to split the machine. Having driven a Massey Ferguson 97 extensively in more recent times that had a hand clutch (as well as a foot clutch) I found the hand clutch very handy. But that is the only tractor I ever drove that had one. Our neighbor had an Oliver, a very smooth and easy to drive machine, but it didn't have cylinder liners and cost him a fortune to get the engine rebuilt when it wore out. I also spent many hours in the 1970's driving a Versatile articulated tractor with a Cummins engine and hated it. If you lost 300 rpm you lost all power and had to shift, which involved moving two or three different levers. Truck engines have no business in tractors. Maybe before I croak I will get a chance to drive a 2 cyl Deere!

Another happy customer. Long live John Deere Nation.
