The Complete Book of Classic John Deere Tractors explores the range
of iconic "green tractors" with which Illinois-based John Deere has
become one of the world's most recognizable brands.
Part of Motorbooks' Complete Book series, this fact-packed volume takes
you through dozens of John Deere farm models, beginning with the
1892 Waterloo Boy and ending with the game-changing New Generation and
Generation II lines. With selected text from The Bigger Book of John
Deere by late legendary Deere historian Don Macmillan, this book
details year-to-year model changes within each series and offers
comprehensive specs charts compiled by Deere authority John Dietz.
In addition to the Waterloo Boy, you'll witness the entire 40-plus
years of two-cylinder "Johnny Poppers," from the 1924 Model D
through the 830 Series models in 1960, and the styled tractors of
the prewar and postwar years. Also featured heavily are the
groundbreaking New Generation tractors launched to much fanfare in
1960 and their successors, the New Generation II lineup with their
Sound-Gard cabs. Standard, row-crop, orchard, and even a selection of
experimental models...they're all here. In addition, you'll find
coverage of John Deere's rich international heritage, with tractors
produced in Spain, Germany, and Australia.
Illustrated with incredible color photography and period
advertising, The Complete Book of Classic John Deere Tractors isan
essential edition for the library of any Deere fanatic.
