You Won't Believe How Original This Classic Tractor Is! John Deere Model 60
John Nikodym from Red Cloud, NE shares the story of his beautiful original Model 60 John Deere Tractor. It was used for only one farming season before it was put in the barn and did not see the light of day until 1992 when John bought it at auction!

We were still using a 60 as a regular tractor on the dairy farm until the early 90s. It’s a shame dad sold it.
Thank you for posting
Very nice. Brings back fond memories of when I was about 11 or 12 years old helping a neighbor hay and got to drive his john deere 60. What a thrill and what a tractor.
gotta love the sounds!

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ super nice 👍👍👍 love it ❤️ ❤️❤️
Tough tractor enjoyed operating it.
I remember so well starting our old spoked wheel B.....open petcocks.....turn to level to the small gas tank.....give 'er some choke....turn the flywheel by hand until it fired.....play with the choke to get running smooth....close petcocks....DON'T grab plug instead of petcock unless you are practicing for the electric chair.....play with throttle to smooth out.....switch lever to go to "power fuel"......away you go.
what a beauty
Old Questions Answered...Thank You!
The oldest running tractor we have is our john deere 60 my grandpa and his brother told my great grandfather it's time for him to quit farming and just live the easy life. Well my grandpa owned all the equipment and land at the time so my great grandfather took some of his personal savings and bought the 60 some land and implements so he could keep doing field work. Now we just have a underbelly mower attached to it and use it sometimes to mow around the farm.
First Tractor I learned to drive.. 8 yrs old, LLLooong time ago!!

John Deere girls are soooo hot.
An override was a mechanical stop on the cylinder in the corner of the front where the knob sticks out .
👍
Im ready to see tractors in another 30 years.Theres no telling what there have . Refrigerators ? Still these will be the classics
Old irons are better irons. This tractor would be welcome at a town parade or a hayride.

The override is a pressure stop value on the ram end of the cylinder behind the should to stop the length of and implement into the ground for depth .
Der john deer 1942 hat einen liegenden einzylinder benzinmotor oder doch schon einen dieselmotor? Sehr edel! Ohne vorderachse, simple lenkung. Weiß jeman warum sich diese lenkung nicht behauptet hat. Kippt der traktor leichter um?
I'm surprised the tires are in good as shape as they are. Thought they would've dry rotted away....

Paint on the SN tag. It's not all original paint. Nice straight tin though.

Nice try there Farmer Bill. Back in those days it was just a tractor and there was no interest in doing any fancy paint jobs at the factory. If you got the Two Cylinder or Green Magizine you would learn facts about development, testing and manufacture of John Deere equipment.
Western NC. Our equipment rust sitting in the dry. Coastal NC 10 times worse.
Meh. They're made to be used at least once and a while. I don't believe in letting things sit. Also, not sure what he's saying about tractors rusting out down South, they seem to do fine to me. Lastly, my dad has that exact hydro cylinder, now I know where it came from. John Deere.
