i haven't seen many Model G's around. We're they not all that popular? They're pretty powerful(38 hp, i think) Any opinions? Chris

As good as a "G" is the 70 is way better. Water pump, live hydraulics, more power on less fuel with the duplex carb. And optional live pto & power steering.

In the 1970's, many around here were bought by Mexican traders and shipped to Mexico. There, a V-4 Wisconsin was added on the front and run by drive belt to the belt pulley, thereby doubling the power. It seems the "G" was the only tractor with a strong enough drive train to be able to hold up to this modification.

Unfortunately, a lot of "G" tractors have been butchered beyond all repair by brain-dead tractor pullers.

I'd rather have the BRAIN-DEAD TRACTORPULLERS use them than to see them ROT away in a barn of a NON-BRAIN-DEAD person, sitting unused until they seize up and have to be sold to a scrap yard for parts. And for the record only a very small portion of these tractors are as you say butchered at all. I don't know who your source is, who ever they are, they are not to well informed.

Advertise it somewhere, and you likely won't have it long---tractor pullers are the trailer trash of the antique tractor hobby!!

I pull tractors and I really think that ppl. that show tractors are brain-dead. We do not only paint these tractors(most times better job than show tractors)We go through the engine and make sure everything is running up to par. If a tractor was meant to be shown it wouldn't come with a hitch. Why didn't all of you that just want to PAINT tractors become artists and leave the tractors to a REAL sport..... ..wat u gotta say now

I couldn't agree more. The trailer-queen types treat their tractors as if they're made out of cut glass. These things were built to be used, and are like any other farm tool. They were built to pull things, and pulling them will not damage them if the puller has half a clue. My ultimate goal is for all of my tractors to be equally good in a pull, parade or in the field. There's no reason you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Most of the trailer trash tractorpullers that you refer to are the mechanics that fix up your hobby antique tractors! And don't knock tractorpulling unless you've tried it, most common folk try it the first time and after that they are hooked on the sport! I for one am a tractorpuller and we are not your trailer trash. Most of the tractors that are tractorpulled are by those that rescued a tractor that was on its way to the salvage yard. There is more to the antique tractor hobby than just showing them! Alot of the tractors in a tractorpull are show quality! So I guess to each his own!

I think they were a little thirsty for fuel. A known BS'er told me one time that his dad had three of them - one going from the fuel tank to the field, one working in the field, and one going back in to fill up with fuel. Could be, I don't know.

Stan, what I heard wasn't that they were fuel-hogs - just that the screwed up and didn't make the gas tank fill hole big enough, because you couldn't dump fuel in as fast at they'd burn it, lol.

Didn't know there were farms big enough to have G's around here. That particular Purdue AG major BS'er must have been paying out of state tuition.

They're rebuilding the road south of 131st and Promise. Causing big traffic problems up there -- but there might be a plaque with your name on it in the offing.

hope you're doing well....

If you want to see the John Deere-G you almost have to go to a Tractor Pull or Show to see them in action. As for popularity, they are arguably one of the most popular of the 2 cylinder tractors John Deere built. You have to drive one to see why they are so popular, for power in the lettered John Deere's they were under rated. I have the G, A, and B, and the G is my favorite. I use the G and the A for tractorpulling. Just my 2 cents.

There were about 64,000 "G"s built during their production, compared to 300,000+ each of the "A" and "B", which explains why you don't see near as many around. There are still quite a few in this area, which has been home to large row-crop farms forever. Areas that have historically had smaller farms don't have as many.

Chris, in the late 30's & 1940's money was tight, labor was almost free. It was important to have a tractor that was cheap to buy & cheap to run - if you needed to put in some extra hours, so be it. The Row Crop B was the optimal size, & it was flanked by the little H & the bigger A. The D (standard) was used for heavy tillage work on large farms. And the Row Crop G was used on only a few larger farms.
