The John Deere Model D


John Deere Model D
     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:
