Not a mention of the 10 series: 1010, 2010, 3010, 40,10, 5010 or 8010. Predecessor to the 20 series.

[@MrLegrander]

Exactly! the 10 series was the FIRST of the "New Generation" 6 cylinder engine tractors from JD. We owned all International up until then. First John Deere tractor was a 4010 Diesel which was a much nicer tractor than our IH 560 Diesel, and a little more powerful. After that we bought two 4020's both with "power shift" transmission. I sure loved running those 4020's tractors!

[@robertpayne2717]

If I remember I think JD also made the L as a tow tractor for aircraft during the ww2 for USAACORP and The RAF

A few years ago, a local operator bid on a snow-plowing contract for some oil companies, using 2 John Deere Model D tractors with home-made snow plows. No one else could compete with them on price, and their operating costs were unbelievably low compared to the competition, not to mention their near-lack of maintenance costs.

Very cool videos. We were a JD equipped farm when I was growing up. They last forever!

[@Landrew0]

Very professional-looking.

Its funny bigest sucsess is the smallest the LA compact even though a collectable their still varry usable and vertical twin is still a shock id love to have one you can mowe your yard with nice power and yet plow your field disk harrow. Even plow snow where all the other twins are only draw bars usless unless pulling wagon or pulling all those old deers with no 3pt hitch are good for i love old iron but i like the ones with 3pt hitch so i can use them like ford and case

More Johnny Poppers!!

[@ericlakota6512]

Wow im not realy a jD man but that twin detroit id so love to have that or. Id be happy to have that motor

[@JC-gw3yo]

John Deere was always ahead in hydraulics... They were and as now on the cutting edge of technology

[@MrLegrander]

The 1000 rpm PTO shaft located under the tractor and facing forward, we used in harvesting Sugar Beets. That PTO shaft was used to power the belly mounted sugar beet topper. Three spinning notched discs sliced off the beet tops and threw the green leafy tops off to the side out of the way of the three row harvester pulled behind. All were John Deere pieces of equipment. We used this Sugar Beet harvester in the 1960's and 70's

[@MrLegrander]

Sorry, My comment above was in reference to the end of this video where they introduce the "New Generation" 6 cylinder tractors and a model 4020 is displayed. The owner of the 4020 showed us the front facing 1000 rpm PTO but didn't know exactly what it was used for.

[@MikeBrown-pe8yo]

I own a 1956 two cylinder and was surprised that a commercial machine had a cast Iron crankshaft with only two main bearings.

[@ericlakota6512]

[@robertpayne2717]

The belly pto was used on our farm to run ACE sprayer pumps for chemical application

[@MrLegrander]

We used it to slice tops off Sugar Beets using the 3-row belly mounted beet topper as we pulled the three row John Deere Harvester.

[@reubenpearson1634]

Arrange better absence attitude grade would own fat close.

[@Ratkill9000]

Surprised they never showed the Dain AWD or the experimental rotary engine John Deere from the 80s/90s.

[@Landrew0]

The Dain wasn't successful for John Deere. That's why they went with Waterloo Boy.

[@Ratkill9000]

It did get their foot in the door.

[@philipfreeman72]

The 2 bangers were more efficient.

[@donaldsmith3048]

When I was in High school about 1966 I plowed with a 4020 Diesel, but I also plowed with a John Deer that had a big fly wheel on the right with a hand clutch next to the fly wheel and ran on LP gas.

[@dwightl5863]

The big fly wheel is on the left side. Belt pulley/clutch was on the right.

[@dwightl5863]

Referenced by the operator sitting in the seat.

[@donaldsmith3048]

@@dwightl5863 First of all, this was in 1965, I am not sure but I thought that there was a covered flywheel on the right, think that was where the clutch was in the covered flywheel. The belt Pulley was on the left. But I am not willing to bet anything on this. I do remember when the POP-OFF, pressure relief valve popped. On a very hot summer day in Oklahoma, going along watching to make sure the plow is working right, and that thing pops and starts shooting LP Gas up will make sure you are awake. LOL! The LP tank didn't have the type of gauge shown on the video, It had one that I had to open a small valve and move it until I see the liquid come out. I do like to see some of the videos about this.

[@fasx56]

Where do you get parts for these tractors that have been out of production for so many years.? What state or country was this video produced.?

[@hartstudebakerkid]

Parts are still available online and through dealers.....If they werent I would not have a MC for plowing snow.

[@defuse56]

+fas56 A good many old parts are still available from JD dealers. Also, there is a vast online network of owners and collectors who part out some tractors in order to restore others. Tractor salvage yards are in operation all over the country too. It's amazing the stuff you can get for old John Deeres. The same goes for old IH tractors and a few other big manufacturers, although JD is almost transcendental in its value. Never underestimate the commitment of green tractor guys; a Spoker D like the ones in Part 1 of this series went for $210,000 at an auction recently!
