The Model D was the first MASS PRODUCED tractor with the John Deere name on it. It was introduced in late 1923 as a 1924 Model and was made until 1953. At first glance the Model D looks similar to the Model GP, but the D is larger and it has the front axle attached directly to the engine block. The GP is smaller and it has a "frame" around the engine. The D only had the spoked flywheel during its first year. After that the flywheel was solid. Once the Model D was "styled" its identification became unmistakable. There is NO other John Deere tractor that looks like THIS:
This Model D was shown in Maryland. The Model D was only available with the "standard" front wheel configuration. Find out what "Standard" means, HERE. |
