Glenn and Lyle, the tractor that you are both referring to was not a forerunner of John Deere but was in fact made by JD. It was made around 1916-1918. They made about 200 of them before they recalled all of them back to be destroyed. The man that owns the one that was at the penns cave show is a Mr. Hanson and he is from Minn..

It definitely was an interesting piece to see and remember. I am a member of that organization Mr. Oakes, what did you think of our show.
