The John Deere 50 I bought from my mother was built in February 1953, Nine months younger than me. It was the first tractor I drove. Also the first tractor I drove by myself. It was our chore tractor. When I was about 10 years old the 50 had a lot of gas get into the oil and i didn't check it during those years. I was spreading manure and the tractor began to labor hard locking it tight. That was the only time it had an overhaul. The only other tractor we had was a John Deere 60, 1955 model. That tractor is in sad shape with the motor frozen. Breaks my heart to see it sitting there, but with mother in a nursing home and my younger brother expecting to get all dads machinery their is little hope. It has power steering which was nice when I was young and had trouble pulling the clutch if dad had it to tight. I only drove it about 5% of the time. The 50 should out live me and I will see that it does. Richard
