What is a Deluxe?

Got me to wondering, just what does constitute a Deluxe TO35?

An otherwise Deluxe with a single clutch is a Special.

Not all Deluxe have PS.

Not all have Tractormeter.

All have a padded seat?

All have spin out wheels?

Any other differences? Paint? Decals?

Thanks!
 
I don't know for a fact, only what I have been told. way back when tractors came off the assembly line pretty much all the same. with possibly the exception of pwr adjust wheels. ordering custom tractors from the factory did not happen.

two stage clutch was done at factory. too much for dealer to do. gauge package done at factory.

I have a 55 to-35 deluxe. serial number has no letter prefix. how do I know it is a deluxe? it has two stage clutch. a full gauge package 35 does not necessarily mean it is has a two stage clutch.

I also have a TO-35 that has pwr adj wheels that is not a deluxe. (possible dealer add on ?)

TO-35's morphed over the years. lots of changes. just look at the different paint schemes.

if you see a TO-35 with full gauges and padded seat it still might not be a deluxe unless it has two stage clutch.

I have two of my TO's for sale. both have pwr steering. both are deluxe. wanna buy one? special price for forum contributers. :)
 
If the dealer did not have what you wanted on the lot you could have ordered exactly what you wanted. You could have ordered a Deluxe without the tractormeter if you wanted.
 
Decals were different---Spin out wheels where option--Don't remember reading anything about deluxe not having a tack.I know special didn't have tack. I have a 1958 deluxe that has never had lights. I'm second owner with only 1600 hrs.I'm sure if a farmer wanted something on a tractor a dealer had he would install it. I remember older farmers talking about not buying PS because of cost and they didn't think they needed it since most tractors didn't have PS. They were just tough. LOL
