Hello to all.

I have a chance to purchase a 1942 John Deere model "LA" 1 cylinder gas engine in almost brand new condition. The little bit of info I have is that this tractor was purchased new by a farmer in nearby Connecticut, kept in a barn when not in use, and was the only person to use it. His brother took it to his home when the farmer died and has been stored for years. The brother reciently spent $ 1,600.00 +/- to restore it so he could sell it (he showed me the reciepts).

It comes as a complete tractor with a snow plow, sickel bar mower, double disk harrow and a row plow (for planting?).

Stupid question of the day... What is the track record of this model tractor and what would be considered a fair price to pay?

Thanks again.

Rick

The LA is a 2 cylinder vertical engine made by John Deere. This tractor weighs about 2000 lbs and has about 14 horsepower. They have no hydraulics, very rarely find one with the optional Power Takeoff. They are easy to work on and were the smallest tractors John Deere made. If if is in really nice condition, and has the serial number on the right rear axle, I would say $ 3000.00 to 3500.00. The equipment is a plus. Russ

Russ,

Thannks for the info. I just wanted some feedback before I spent the money.

I will look to be sure the serial # is where you said to look.

Thanks again, it really is a sweet little tractor.
