The John Deere Diesel "R" Tractor COLLECTORS EDITION SERIES II 1949/1954!
This tractor has the classic 2 cylinder John Deere design with a horizontal engine. The huge flywheel hangs out on the left and the belt pulley/clutch on the right.
The Model 'R' was designed against the CAT D-4 as a reference point. It was suppose to sell into the market for heavy tillage in Western Wheat fields and out perform a D-4 Farm Cat in every respect possible. It was to be cheaper, faster, more economical to operate, and get more work done. If this was indeed the design goal, it was accomplished.
Prior to this time John Deere had been making tractors which ran on gasoline or stove oil and this model was their first production diesel model. The Model R was introduced at about 34 Horsepower in 1949. In its day, it was the biggest thing on rubber tires that a farmer could buy. This very accurate replica toy makes for a great addition to your collection.
