I own a 1937 A. An older gentleman ordered it new from JD and sold it to me because he couldn't turn the flywheel anymore. He gave me all the original paperwork manuals and shipping papers also a picture of the tractor when it arrived on a railcar in Brainerd MN. It has the Model A on the hood behind the radiator and the flowing G and the Deer between the John Deere. It's still all original and runs strong. People ask me sometimes at shows and antique pulls if it was restored and in all actuality it was just covered it's whole life and never left outside and maticulasly takin care of. He was 97 years old. I started the tractor up for him he drove it around the barn and up onto my trailer. He shook my hand and wept. It was the first and last tractor on his farm. He and his wife waved as I left. I'll never forget that day and I'll never let that tractor go.

Great story! I had 37’ model “A” similar if not, close to identical. It was a great tractor. In the beginning of ownership we used it for pulling hay wagons and the occasional odd job around the place. Then we just started using it less and less over the years until one day a good family friend offered to buy it for a restoring project and after haggling back and forth for a while I ended up letting her go. I did see it after it was all restored and wow!! What an amazing job he did. I only wish I would’ve thought to take pictures cause that was the last time I seen it. My friend died and I’m really not sure what happened to the tractor.

Our 37 A had the flowing General purpose mixed in with the standard JOHN DEERE in the middle, both top and bottom and from side to side.

there is an 'A' that is one of the original 12 prototypes that did the test in Lincoln, Nebraska. Got "lost" so didn't get scrapped, many changes to production tractors.

I have a 1935 a that I just bought. can you recommend where I can find a good maintenance manual for it all the ones I find show 1938 and later I can't really find anything for 1935. I noticed my oil pump is not on the bottom. I can't find any literature on these early A models.

My father had a 1935-6-7. not sure which. It was on steel, he later went over to rubber tires. And did custom combining with the first John Deere combine that came out.

I bet that these old things have more grip in the mud than the new tractors

@andrewrentmeester3170 4 жыл бұрын

Rubber tires actually have more grip.

@williamchristopher1560 4 жыл бұрын

Fernando, Steel lugs DID NOT have the same gripping power as rubber tires.. In 72 and I know. Dad said whenever he hit a gopher hole with his 37 WD A with the same skeleton grip wheels as shown on the above A, , down shed go.

The one great thing about metal lugs is all you needed when stuck was a fence post or two..

@christyler7391 4 жыл бұрын

Where I live in upstate NY my grandfather said lugs were great bc with our wet heavy clay soil,lugs would grip better vs rubber which just spin. But once they blacktopped our rd in I think 82 & banned metal wheels,we went full rubber.

@eliasblum753 Жыл бұрын

How does that single narrow front wheel not just sink into the ground? Is the ground so much drier and harder in America than it would be in Britain? Because even if most of the weight is on the rear wheels, I can't imagine a tractor like that being able to cross a typical British field.
