: I am writing a novel about my uncle, who was a John Deere dealer in 1940. Can somebody tell me what all he was selling back then, other than the Model H? And here's where I show how little I know -- what did you use that Model H for, specifically? Did it come with attachments? His dealership was in Southern Ill -- lots of wheat, corn, etc. Help! Many thanks to you kind souls.
We used an H for cultivating corn and potatoes. It was also used to pull loaded wagons, general light duty. If you can attend some tractor shows the guys there with the old John Deeres can tell you all about them. There are also many good books. I would also suggest you contact Green Magazine (402) 643-6269 (http://www.cnweb.com/green
They can give you many leads. Try also The Two Cylinder Club (319 824 5534) They are also on line I think, do a search. Dave
