The rare, not many left models attract the collectors and bring high sale prices. Like the experimental 170,000 dollar GP sold at auction last November. Hear are some that I look out for. Let me know if I left some out

Model Y Just rumoured to exist
Factory equipped gas Model G more rumours
Model 62
GPWT
GP potato
GP Bean
Streeter D
JD Dain tractor, two known to exist
Model AA, 8 reconfiguerd to A's, a few found
High crop B's, 6 known to exist
B-40's Few exist
Let me know if I left any out. These are the one's I read about the most.

I saw a C sell at auction for $35,000. They look almost like a GP but I think only 100 were made. John T

Richard one more for the rare D's,
1932 Lindeman put Best 30 tracks and rollers on 3 D's. Ser# 115052 (somebody got this one?)was tested by Deere and they recommed Lindeman put tracks on the GP instead.
Price of track converion, 2300.00 FOB Portland.
Have pic of both track type D's, and the Lindeman is a good looking setup.

Richard an artical in 2 Cylinder Mag says the rarest of all 2 cyl's is a Exhibit B D on tracks. My hope is some one finds one of only 10. 2 were scrapped, and maybe 3 had tracks removed, still leaves 5 some where.
They built 50 Exhibit D's in 1930,(ser#107001 to 107050) but with 1931 features. Most were shipped to Montana, Arizona and Cailf.
Look for Ser# 107001-31-33-34-39-43-47-&-48'
Thought this might be interesting to some.

How can I identify the nickel hole flywheel D? Is it easily identified or will I need a serial number? Any available pictures you know of. Thanks.

You want rare? Find the 4010 high crop that was ORIGINALLY a GAS tractor. There was only one gas 4010 high crop made and it was converted by the factory into a DIESEL and renumbered. Find the diesel tractor with the right serial number and there you have it: RARE INDEED!

How about an HNH ? GP-tricycle? (not a wide-tread) How about a 330 Southern Special? Tractors built special for cotton pickers, (I got my eye on one of'em with a mounted picker still in use!). Take a look at some of the 20 and 30 series all-fuel and LP tractor production numbers. HMan

Richard, about ten years back in a Two Cylinder Magazine artical. It showed a proto type Military A Model John Deere. It had two machine gun turrets as well as a steel protector plate for the operator. It had rear steel wheels together with rubber tires on the rear so if a tire was shot out it could run on the steel wheels. Seems Deere only made one for the military to try out. I wish I had that A model tractor. The military could have the machine guns.

As Deere Puller said, many of the industrial versions are hard to find. I have a website about them, and the production numbers are pretty low. The rarest that I can think of is the Model R industrial prototypes. Only two were made, so far, only one has been found. The other might be out there somewhere! Try the link below for more information.

Some 420s and 430s were converted to forklifts. Only 25 420 forklifts were made, and only 53 430 forklifts.

There were only 91 AIs made (A-industrial), some were scrapped and rebuilt. Leaving (at most) 68.

Only 100 DIs made. Some rebuilt or scrapped, leaving (at most) 87.

Industrials are often rare, and just plain different. That's why I like them!

Brandon

P.S. You can find info for all the tractors above at my website-below. I swear, its an obsession!

The industrial models, especially the "DI" aren't common at all. Also, some of the late orchard tractors are very scarce (60, 620, 3010/3020). We're in orchard country up here & occasionally a guy will find one hauling a load of wood or something. I remember a few years ago seeing a 10 series, complete with all citrus skirts, sitting in an old barn, with 'Not for Sale' painted on the hood! I beleive it was a gas, but I'm not positive. It's not there anymore. Don't forget the 8010/8020 - I've seen them at the NY Two-Cylinder Expo

Richard,
The "AA" tractors were all rebuilt and renumbered except for one which they don't know what the destination was. Ryan

I hate to come across as blowing my own horn, but I thought I would mention a few tractors that my familly owns. Of course were not saying they are worth big bucks. We have 2 of the streeter D's, and 3 high crops , G, 60, 620. (Sorry, I dont have pics at this time). third party image This is a 4230 gas, 1 of about 30 built. The next picture is a 1937 D that was painted gold to celebrate Deeres 100th anniversary.

Charlie,

Nice website! How many of the Gold Ds were produced? I saw your dad's 1/16 scale Gold D at the Gateway Farm Toy Show last year.

I dont know if they are rare or not, but I think the styled G with a pan seat is rare they only built them for about two months between the GM's which they are the same except the serial tag(says G) and the G with the Battery under the seat.

Yes, they took an extensive break from GM production during WWII. Do to material shortage, you could build alot more model B's compared to the larger GM.

I don't know how rare it is but I have a 420-U with a Henry loader and backhoe on it. It still has the cable swing on the hoe. MY Dad bought it in 1965 and I bought it from him. I've only seen 1 other, and heard of another. Anybody know how rare it is?
