Hi guys:
Just got to thinking tonight of why there was never a model 30 in the first numbered series deere's. They weren't producing the M's or L's during this period and I would think that there would be a need for a tractor that small. I guess I always assumed that the 40 sort of covered this area as well as it's own slot until the 320 was produced with the 20 series. Any opinions or info?

One theroy is that the 320 and 330 were a good outlet for the M parts.

As I understand it the "320" was just a "detuned" "40". I think about the only mechanical difference was a reduction in engine speed from 1850 to 1650 RPM. The new percieved demand was a "40" sized machine with a little more power, & the "420" fulfilled this need with an increase in bore dia from 4" to 4.25", along with some other changes, including a 5 speed transmission, & available "live" pto. Apparently, as someone else mentioned, the "40" was considered an upgrade of the "M", filling the same needs.

I think the 40 pretty well covered the size requirement of the M, L, H, and BR. For that matter the M had replaced the others and many of the 40 parts carry the M designation. The 40 had most of the features the market demanded and there probably wasn't a market for a smaller (less feature, less power) model. My $.02.
