Your take on this subject is interesting. I have always grouped all the 2cyl Deeres in the same design class. This would make that run from '24 to '60. Deere's next design was the 3010/4010 ran until the mid Nineties Both runs of about 35 years.

One may say that there is a lot of difference between a D and a 830 but when you strip away all the sheet metal and only compare these tractors in 5 year jumps it is the same design just had things added as market demanded. A little know fact (at least to me) Deere made the 2 Cyls into the mid '70s. I was going through a dealership in eastern IA earlier in May and saw a 730 some guys were putting tires on. Didn't think much about it until I looked at the right side. The tractor had a foot clutch. I am sure there are many other differences. Talked to the owner he said in '60 Deere sent the patterns and tooling to Argentina and they made the 2cyls there until the mid '70s.

Will be interesting to see what others have to say.
