I was prowling around the local TSC and in the toy department was a 1:16 scale Deere model 62. It looked alot like a model L/LA. Was that an old concept tractor, or did it have a good production run?

that wasn't near Columbus Oh was it? If it was, it brought $23,500. the motor was locked up, had the wrong carb, steering wheel was wrong, and alot of other stuff. If it was a diffrent one, do you have the serial number or who bought it?

They were the prototype to the model L unstyled but were not the first. Deere made one more model prior to that. It was called the model Y. It used a NOVO engine and looked like a backyard grill with 4 wheels and a seat. It was a real put together tractor. I remember reading about it in a John Deere history book I've got. Can't remember the name but I know it covers JD from 1837 up through 1960 or so. The company that made that one is going to be putting out 4 more models to fill out the line. The L unstyled, L, LA, and the LI are soon to be released if they haven't already.

Then, too, there's the fact that JD reused this model number on an implement. The model 62 was also one of the heavy-duty bulldozer blades for the 420/430/440 series crawlers.

I remember the first time I heard a reference to a model 62 *tractor*, I didn't realize that it was a tractor, and couldn't figure out why in heck JD was messing with 3rd party engines on a model 62 bulldozer blade.

I had to ask what the engine was for, the hydraulics maybe? The response was the the 62 had no hydraulics. So, I replied that my 62 had them, but ran off of the main hydraulic pump (i.e. no motor required). So, the response back was the motor powered the wheels. I then replied what would you use wheels for (on a bulldozer blade)?

At this point, the conversation stopped so it could restart at the beginning. Talk about being confused, though! That's when I learned that a 62 was a little tractor (as in the L) before it was a bulldozer.... :-)

This is true, The model Y was first, there was only 2 built with the Novo engine. from what we could find, it either didn't hold together or didn't have enough power, so they were repowered with the Hercules NXA. there were a total of 22 model Y's produced, and from all the records that we can find, it appears that all of them were tested, returned to moline, and then scrapped.

The model 62 was the prototype to the unstyled model L. there were 78 produced in 1937 and were basicly a put together tractor (alot of parts deere bought from other manufactures to build these tractors) They were built in the wagon works in Moline Ill. if you want to see more pictures of model 62's, go to www.antiquejohndeere.com

I didn't think Deere had a numbered model that preceeded a lettered model.

The model 62 was the first for alot of things. it was the first numbered tractor, the first upright two cylinder, the first foot clutch, and it was also the 100th anniversry tractor along with the G.

Thye had one on The Classic Tractor show last night. It was the predecessor to the L and LA. They were only built one year. Not too many of them made, but I can't remember the exact production numbers.
