Were there or were there not any Gs produced in 1937. I have been told both ways. I have a neighbor who claims to have a 37 G. He even showed it to me. Since I know nothing about old 2 cylinders I naturally assumed he was correct. This man grew up on two cylinders and has about 30 tractors including five or six Gs. This one is supposed to be about the 167th one made. I was speaking with a gentleman recently about old John Deere's and mentioned this tractor of my neighbors. He swears up and down that there were no Gs made until 38. What aboutit two cylinder experts? What is the deal?

 Thanks guys! in reply to Ba elee05, 01-28-2007 15:32:57  
I was pretty sure my neighbor knew his stuff. It has never been painted and boy does she sound nice! It is interesting to note that this tractor has cast center wheels. He is pretty sure they are factory because they don't look quite like anything else Deere produced later. Whatever the case it is a pretty cool old tractor. Thanks for your help.

G1000 serial number was scrapped but the tractor still exist with a newer number, G1002,G1004,G1006, G1008 and G1010 are still in this world, they have not gone to the great melting pot. In my opinion ther are about 65 of the first 100 G's built still in existance. I own G1006, It was built May 19,1937 and shipped May 21, 1937 to Bozeman, Montana. It has Skeleton Rear Steel and 24 X 5 front steel wheels like it was shiped. So in answer to your question there were several G tractors built in 1937 but they are called 1938 models.

Ba elee05,
According to the Unstyled G Production Register, G1000 and G1001 were scrapped, and G1002 was built May 17, 1937 and shipped to Gibbon, MN. Since the 1938 Model Year started November 1, 1937, there were indeed G's built in 1937, using both the Calendar Year and Model Year definitions. G2601 was built November 4, 1937 and so was the first 1938 Model Year tractor built, and G3647 was built January 5, 1938 and so was the first G built in CY 1938.

It is interesting to note from the Production Register that a number of tractors with higher s/n than G3647 were built in December 1937 - one of the vagaries of tractor production.

Duane, wasn't G1000 rebuilt and sold later as 2810 or am I thinking of a differant G.

Yes, there were G's built in 1937. One of the first 50, was sold new in my neighborhood. The new owners took delivery in June 1937. About a month later they discovered the engine cooling problem while operating the threshing machine. JD was there the next morning to install the bigger radiator and related parts. They also ground the valves. All under a shade tree in the farmers yard.
