On Saturday we bought our first John Deere A and have no clue what year the tractor is, the guy we bought the tractor from said it had no ID plate and the tractor was yellow before it was painted green. The tractor is definitely on pre 1947. The tractor is 12 volts. The problems we know it has are; the lights don't work, sheet metal is a little banged up/ cut up (around the stack), the hydraulics don't work (where the arms go that doesn't seem to move and the tractor has a one remote set), front left tire wobbles and one of the tires are dead. Those are the the things we noticed so far. I have the tractor in the driveway with a board under the tractor to see what spots it makes. We were shown by a friend how to drive the tractor and to check the oil / hydro level but forgot (checking fluid level). The things I know I need to get are; manual, new tire and maybe rim (tire is filled), ORC (over run clutch), 3 point hitch (in the future with weights, plow (what plow can this pull? 2, 3, or 4 plow), might get a battery with more cold crank amps. When we got the tractor, the tractor was being setup for pulling (has wheelie bars and a weight on each side).
