They forgot to mention, you can change the clutch disks with a pair of pliers and a screw driver, and you don't have to break the tractor in half.

I LOVE these old promotional films!

We had Deere’s for 50 years! Now have 9 Fendts, nothing beats the Sound of a 2 cylinder!

We were John Deere dealers from 1953 till 1990. My father and grandfather would be proud. I miss those days.

I love these old films. Made before television and shown in small town theaters

Decent....Current politicians should watch this....and realize what made this country strong .

Another happy customer. Long live John Deere Nation.

Man were kids polite back then.

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!

Great video! I have JD models: D, 40 & 50. All need some restoration work but what fun to hear the two cylinder engines start and run smoothly.

Back when promotional content showed real improvement

The old popping Johnny is still my favorite

John Deere and others, nowadays, feed the world! Thank you John Deere and Modern Agriculture!

Thank you for posting this video Al, John Deere is very near and dear to our families heart. My Grandfather bought a '37 B on steel and then in 1949 he bought a mt with a plow,disc,cultivator, and culipacker. In 1971 my Dad got the mt and implements from my Grandpa and used them for sometime on our place.

💘 these old 🚜 videos...

at 8:30-8:40 you have to appreciate all the sounds the tractor makes

"By golly". No "F" bombs in this one!

Wow that looks fun good ole days

good ad! Makes me want to go out and see if I can't find a new B John Deere

"You can 't beat a John Deere tractor"...cause nothing runs like a Deere🤣❤️❤️❤️

I growed up on these old girls you cant beat them Oh, the good old days!!!!!

Back when men were men and tractors were tractors. John Deere is nothing like it used to be.

I can do the maintenance myself......ha ha. Now need Service Adviser electronic tools, satellite receivers and tens of thousands in "unlocks" Grrrrrrrr

"A foot clutch is OK on a smaller tractor... but with a tractor of this size..." he says about a dinky little John Deere B! 😆 For anyone more familiar with IH tractors, a later B like this is directly competitive with a Farmall H. Earlier B's were comparable to a Farmall C (although the C didn't exist yet then).

Crazy that an A was a big tractor in the day, 35 hp at the pto, 25 at the drawbar. My family farm had multiple A's we still have the one my grandfather bought new in '49 wich has been restored. We now run 2 versatile 550dt's wich make 550 engine hp.

That kid is a good salesman. Not gonna lie I would buy from him

Yes, the 830 and 730 maxed out the horsepower of the 2 cylinder engine. That led to the creation of the New Generation 4000 series of John Deere Tractors. And the explosion of John Deere company

Great film. Ya just gotta love it. And those Johnny Poppers, why did they ever bother to change?

The big tractors like this new B... what a statement. I'm afraid that video wouldn't be Osha approved.

Mr. Jennings and Bill smoked a bowl later that evening.

I was at a tractor pull where they had the old vintage tractors pulling;A old feller with his old G came in beat the other old iron.what amazed me with that old G was only popping every 10? seconds but was still going.

Those old timers liked to talk about those two cylinder tractors on silo fillers. As soon as that engine got into a good hard pull the front end would start jumping off the ground.

Morale of the story...winner, winner chicken dinner.

at this time my grandfather had a Hanomag R 28 with cab.

Good add!

Thats it, I'm convinced, I'm going to my john deere dealer to buy one

1:48 Sounded like he had a John Deere car at first!

My dad sent me this link. He added the following message along with the link That's the exact tractor Grandpa bought when ho got his first tractor. He got the JD B - 2 row planter - and 2 row cultivator for $960. When he came home his Dad, my Grandpa said he was going to go broke. Grandpa bought the first tractor in Milford Township - everything was done with horses. Grandpa seen lots of changes in his life as a farmer.

I agree it was good times.

Did he say run the clutch from the ground? O my guess lawyer's were different back then. Love these old ad videos.

I have a model B gasoline only tractor.I love it. :-)

John Deere was on the mark with most everything,but sure missed it with the hand clutch.😂

So beautiful back then

I hate knowing that these classic tractors were once high tech, brand new, and large machines.

Miss the hand cluch when baling a hay, 630 JD with a kicker baler

Me encanta el vídeo mucha historia,encantador

A John Deere $90.00 dollar overhaul? Bawhahaha!

This is taken from the template IH did a few years before this, same kinds of comparisons.

My great grandpa owned a 48 model b. Ran his whole farm with it.

Doesn't that hand clutch to hook up implements sound safe? The high power of a two cylinder engine?

Best time in America

A free chicken dinner by golly.

I dont want to sound dumb, but where is the IVT control and the climate controls? I think I can see where the Greenstar is, but I cant see the bluetooth mic.

Just a few safety in fractions in there... Repeatedly starting the tractor while standing in front of the drive wheels. Recommending you can operate the hand clutch while standing on the ground, or while standing on the tractor...

Where does the Gen4 GPS monitor mount??

"I'll Take One! Don't bother to wrap it up, I will drive it home!"

he learn quick ..😊

I appreciate John Deere for their focus on quality, especially later on but being raised on farmall men's and MTA's you won't convince me on the John Deere..they were really aquard an light on the front end...popping wheelies a lot..then that stubborn 2 cylinder...when they give you fits ,it's enough to make you cuss

o my i want one 😎 or maybe just go for a road trip to: Pioneer Village is a museum and tourist attraction along U.S. Highway 6 in Minden, Nebraska lots of tractors and machinery plus a huge collection of old days stuff... 🥰 john deere B... ok

I think the video is from the late 40s? 1947(?) was the last B upgrade?

Really appreciate you putting this video on here to see.. Fabulous Them days may of been damn hard in hot/cold weather.. But they loved it as they were respected by there community’s. Today unfortunately I believe farmers aren’t appreciated.. The local Apple inc shop is more appreciated 😢. Thank you again from a viewer in 🇬🇧

Detta var en fantastisk traktor.

Put it in the field next to a oliver 77 and we'll talk! Great video

America baby John Deere will always be king

Heck of a dealership tactic let the kid convince you to buy one of the tractors and the salesman makes the commission lol

Of course

Well there is one of my girls siblings. I have a 48 b but she is locked up. I need the time and space to break her loose and get her running again but for now i use my 57 520. It looks like this tractor shown has the distributor drive hydraulic pump option

Amused by them praising the narrow front axle . Everyone used to get rid of those tractors as quick as they could

This had to be from the late 1940’s...you’d almost think hydraulics were invented by John Deere.....think Harry Ferguson and the 3 point hitch.

Man, I grew up in the wrong era. 😢

Bet you won’t see any modern commercial where they start the tractor and run the hydraulics from the ground

Popping Johnny

The farmall f 12 is my personal favorite

$90 for an overhaul I can't even buy a set of blades for my John Deere mower for $90 LOL

Реклама страшная сила

2:00 deaf and sunburned. Been there.

Marketing at it finest.

John Deere won’t let you do your own repairs now!

I reckon old mate from MASH doesn’t know what he’s talking about. 😂

This has to be from 1948, not the 1950s. Also, who played the dealer?

Is that Tim Matheson?

well we are standing in the rain and cold right now , not to mention getting killed by traffic to keep the real legacy alive

That settles it. I'm selling my 2015 John Deere and buying a B

I traded a lawnmower for a b restored it then sold it to another man he sent it to a jd dealer and they restored it and he sold the tractors to a museum somewhere lost trac of it after that

Wooo, Mother Deere bragging about parts and service being cheap and recommending farmers do their own maintenance, thats something you wont hear from them anymore.

Starts tractor from the ground...me cringing like crazy 😳😳😳😱

I perfer the R to the 830 👨‍🌾🤷🏻‍♂️

B's are like aholes, everyone had one.

Nothing runs like a Deere Or smells like a John. John Deere screwed my on a $3,000 mower, they're not doing it on a $30k tractor. And then you have the right to repair fiasco.

i like these old sales videos

$90.00 on complete overhaul of tractor engine,,,what were wages, grain prices, yields

Mettetelo in italiano

And now look at the shit world we live in

case 4 life

Es mejor in trator sin duda, im mi hacienda todo es jon deere

How do they get so much power from a 2 cylinder? So much power, it wouldn't handle a foot clutch. Hahaha

Let me sell you a tractor that's only 30 years behind in engineering. That sounds Great!

Model B,Model A?Ha!ha!Both junk compared to Oliver tractors.
