I don't believe that I have seen any experimental tractors that escaped from the company, generally they were taken back and melted down or modified. Am I correct??? Give me some examples if my statement is wrong. Guess the 4 bolt B might come close.

I saw an experimental XM14 "M" at the Ohio tractor show. It was two years ago and was owned by a gentleman from Wisconsin. I was so excited when I took pictures of it, I didn't notice that my camera was on the wrong setting. So all I have are some shadows of the XM14.

there were a lot of 50 and then again another lot of 50 D"s released in 1928 some still wear ( at least one) experimental tags.most experimentals rebuilt and sold as used at a later time. there are some a's and b's without lettering in radiator tank.
they found bits and pieces of a pre d tractor a few years back around the deere factory.Paul

Walter Keller has a few different experimentals. A few years back near Green Bay a guy found a tractor in a shed that, as I understand it, looked like a standard 40. It was an experimental. Wish I could find something like that.

At the first expo they had a rear engine kinda version of the model LA I think it may of been called a 101 ? I'm not sure right now of the model but it was not a production unit.

That motorized cultivator type unit was a reproduction of the original prototype. On the road now so I cannot give you the name of the builder, but I'm sure someone here will. The original was lost to the dumpster. As far as other experimental types, that over the top steering GP wide-tread that was sold a couple of years ago should certainly rank as an authentic experimental prototype that got away.

Walter Keller from Wi. bought a GP Widetread at a sale in Davenport Iowa 2 years ago that was a 1 of a kind. It had adjustable rear axles and drawbar assy. It is now restored and in his museum.

Nothing really experimental about the 4-bolt B. They just were early production. I got one and along with other changes the four bolt pedestal was changed as design improvements warranted. As far as today's experimental I think it will be pretty rare to find much as I have seen John Deere scrap tractors and other machines on a regular basis because they were not production product. They are pretty protective of that today compared to years ago.
