In the forty-two years between 1918 and 1960, many different tractor models and model variations rolled off the John Deere assembly line—all powered by the same basic, dependable two-cylinder, horizontal engine.
Affectionately called "Popping Johnnies" and "2-Lungers," these are perhaps the best-loved tractors John Deere ever produced.
When Deere stopped producing the two-cylinder models in 1960, the company vcas deluged with mail, lamenting the demise of their hard-working tractors.
Although now out of production for over thirty years, many of these much-admired tractors are still in everyday use, cherished for their ruggedness and simplicity by thousands of farmers and tractor enthusiasts who collect and restore these valuable greenand-yellow workhorses.
Author and photographer Dave Arnold has tracked down a fascinating sampling of these legendary machines for VintageJohn Deere.
Ninety full-color photos and detailed captions trace the development of the very popular two-cylinder tractors and other agricultural equipment.
Arnold highlights differences in design and styling, showcases specialty tractors used for different purposes. and shares photos of some very rare and unique tractors.
