This is a 1952 John Deere R that had been sitting 20 odd years. Cylinders were full of water. I had to replace the pistons and rings, replace the valve seats, reface the valves and clean the injectors and pumps to get this beast to run again.
This is a 1953 John Deere AO I restored except for the decals. Before I could order them in, a fellow just had to have it, so I let him do the finish work.
This is my 1953 John Deere 40S (standard) that works everyday. Ten years ago it was a pretty new green. With weights on the front the 7 Ft. boom will lift over 750 + Lbs. There is only one tractor I like better than my 40 and that is a JD 430 tricycle I had for about 2 1/2 months in 2005.
