Super G 70? I have heard of the "70" being refered to as a "Super" G but John Deere did not actually ever call the "70" that. The "70" on the other hand, is the direct replacement for the "G" tractor. It was introduced in 1953, a year after the 50 and 60. It is aproximately a 50 hp tractor, was available in "Row Crop", "Standard" and "High Crop" chassis configurations and you could buy one with a choice of Distillate or Gasoline engines in 1953, LP gas in 1954, and diesel in the 1955 model year. Live power take off (Lpto), live hydraulics, power steering, a choice of up to five front ends---single front wheel, conventional dual wheel narrow, Roll-o-matic narrow, a fixed 38" wide front or an adjustable wide front end--- were all available for the row crop tractor. It weighed 6035 lbs, had a 379.5 cid gas, 413 cid distillate, or 376 cid diesel engine. The rated rpm of the spark ignition engines was 975, diesels ran at 1125rpm. Serial nr 7043757 was the last one built.
