Up for auction is a hard to find and nice 1940 Gas John Deere L Tractor in north Mississippi just 85 miles south of Memphis, TN. Runs and Starts Great. The paint was done a little while ago on it and it was a good paint job - it still looks nice as you can see. We would call the sheet metal average. We have not waxed this tractor at all either or put any tire shine on which would make it nice to show as a good John Deere model L work tractor.
This classic L model Tractor runs great and does not smoke and no
noises. It was converted to electric start at one point and starts good, or a person could convert it back to hand start if they wished. (Note: We have another good running 1940 L hand-start that does NOT have cultivators and is just a little rougher sheet metal and if someone wants that tractor instead for $3,000 we'd list it here.)
No leaks and perfect oil pressure for a 2-Cylinder. Engine and rear end oil looks excellent. If the winning bidder is someone out of the area who wishes to have this delivered we would be happy to shoot a video of this for you starting, driving and running before you sent payment.
For price comparison I have seen regular L's or LA's trade for over $7,000 at collector auctions and in fact I can email you pictures and details of some sold at $7,250 and $7,750 at auction so we feel this tractor is at a very attractive starting price.
(See the 3 or 4 interesting historical type photos I posted above of some Example Pictures from L brochures and elsewhere.)
(Note: We are also going to be listing here on eBay this upcoming week these items that we also have at Oxford, Miss. too. They are all from this estate collection we just got in Including a 1940 real nice, hand-start John Deere H at $2,500, a real good 1940's 1 1/2 HP hit and miss engine at $1,200 and a all wooden, very original 1900's John Deere wagon at $950 -with no box on top, just the running gear. We'll also be listing a real good 1940 model L Tractor in case anyone wants a L and LA pair of tractors. And we have a LA or L belt pulley and we'd sell this pully for $500, or with any other tractor or purchase at $450. And also have a rare JD 202 two way rope trip plow on rubber for $1,000. I also know restored, all correct 38 unstyled L for sale in the midwest that a customer has for $9,000 firm if anyone is looking for one of those for their collection and I can post that here too. New paint and tires too. Looking for a L or LA serial plate, a running unstyled G tractor, and a 1935 B on steel or a 1935 4-Bolt B. May consider other trades too.)
This JOHN DEERE L Tractor needs nothing at all and is all ready to work or parade. Best of luck bidding!

From the
John Deere Collectors Guide:
"Utility
tractor" describes a small tractor that performs a variety of
"chores." It may be the secondary tractor used for work not requiring
the horsepower available in larger, primary tractors on large farms.
Or, it may be the primary tractor on smaller farms.
The Model "L", introduced in 1937, was the first John Deere Utility
Tractor. It was "unstyled" in design up until 1938 and it had a 2-cylinder
engine. But unlike that in other John Deere Tractors of the time, it was a
vertical, Hercules engine. It had a foot clutch and the offset engine
aided visibility while cultivating single rows. John Deere Wagon Works
in Moline, Illinois built the "L". It was very popular for small field and
garden work for plowing, cultivating and even lawn and pasture care.
In 1941 the "LA" was introduced and was styled in design and it
could pull a one 16-inch bottom. It joined the "L" whose styled version
was introduced in 1938. The L by comparison could pull a one-bottom
12-inch plow in most conditions. The LA was powered with a John Deere
vertical engine as was the L also starting in 1941. The LA is rated at
14.5 PTO HP and the L at 10.3 PTO HP. Both models are known to 2-Cylinder
Collectors as "Baby Brother" of that Deere lineup and weigh around 2,200
lbs. and are around 7'10" long and less than 4.5 feet so they are becoming
increasing popular with collectors who find them easy to trailer or truck
around even in the back of a heavy capacity pickup for farm or ranch work,
shows or parades. Both models look alike unless parked together and then
the larger, heavier rear wheels of the LA catch the eye. Both have a
standard 3 Forward, 1 Reverse Transmission. The L and LA are both rated 3
out of 5 stars in the John Deere's collector guide since they are hard to
find and "very good investments."
My office / cell phone # if questions is (512) 573-8359 for me, Robert Cash Moline, and I'm usually at my Nashville, TN location. We also have a office and location by Austin, Texas and 2-3 Midwest tractor and other locations we work with like here in MS as part of my business, The Tractor Barn. Or feel free to email me through eBay, or www.TheTractorBarn.com if you prefer.
PAYMENT can be made within 7 days or less after the auction ends by either regular Check, Bank Check or Bank Wire and in some cases Paypal eCheck which is drawn out of your bank account if you are set up with Paypal. If picking up and paying in person than a Bank Cashiers Check is probably best.
Classic tractors like this make great sense since they'll appreciate and go up in value while you use and enjoy them. This tractor will make both a nice future investment and a great farm workhorse too. Especially when compared to a new $20,000 tractor that depreciates by 1/3rd the minute you buy it and drive it off the lot. And note when the stock market fell 50% last year antique tractors prices actually held steady and are up again this year as usual.

We are one of the very few Tractor Dealers who
100% Guarantee
any Tractor we sell here to be as described and shown. I'm very proud of my
great ratings and will make sure the winning bidder is 100% happy that your
purchase is fully as promised. And would you rather go to a regular
auction and pay the high prices and commission there where you know nothing
about the tractor. And where a lot of people and dealers take their problem tractors because they can dump everything as-is with no guarantee or
information, and usually the only thing you can see or know is if it starts
or not.
Act fast if you're going to "Buy It Now" since over 1/3rd to 1/2 of our items end early due to the great prices we set. Please check our other auctions for some classic tractors we may have listed including late-model along with vintage, old and antique farm tractors and equipment. You can click here at this line- Items being Auctioned on eBay to go right to them.
Pay us for items under $1,000 through PayPal! And with Full Buyer Protection.
On items Over $1,000 we don't usually take Paypal due to the 2.9% fee, BUT PayPal eCheck is Free and we do take that.
