John Deere what??

MSS3020 · Dec 8, 2014

What is this John Deere?? This picture was taken about 1945 give or take a year. My mom and uncle in the manure bucket.. Figure mom was about 8 then which would be '45 or'46..Grandpa in the drivers seat..

I would say that it is an A or a G due to it's size... Too big to be a B..

My guess is a G... Bryce

It's a model "G"

RandyB(MI) · Dec 8, 2014

valve cover and radiator tell me "G".

the frame looks straight to me. that makes it an 'a'.

wilamayb · Dec 8, 2014

I cant really see the frame well enough to tell if it swells out like the G but the steering wheel looks like the big G steering wheel and the hood looks awfully wide for an A.

BlaineM · Dec 8, 2014

The front pedestal is a "G" pedestal.

Mike M · Dec 8, 2014

It does look bigger than an A ? I can't tell them apart without a good look at the frame.
Most say G so it may be.
Loader is NOT a JD. Might be a stanhoist brand.

That looks like a Horn loader which was eventually acquired by New Idea. They were mostly seen on Farmall H's and M's around here. Once in a while I've spotted them on WD45's and letter series JD's. The story goes the neighbor had one on a Oliver 70 many years ago.

We had a Horn loader that looked identical to that.

The loader is a bit like a Horn-draulic that I have. Mine might be newer as the cylinders and rear fulcrum part are different. The bracing and things on the arms are identical.

from what i can see its a G., as the exhuast and air cleaner is side by side .
on the A they are one behind the other.

On the unstyled A they are also side by side. Not untill the styled tractors that they were in line. Better seeing with them side by side. And the 6 bolt front says G. A was only 4 bolt And that radiator is wider than the frame so that also says G.

Nice picture! Good photographer too - they had grandpa remove his hat and uncle tip his back so their faces wouldn't be shadowed. An old friend had a loader like that on his Farmall H. Thanks for posting the nice picture!!

'Low radiator' G. around a 38/39 model. Horndralic loader.
