1935 John Deere Model B Tractor Metal Handmade
The Model B was introduced in 1935 as a medium-sized tractor, capable of pulling a plow with two twelve-inch bottoms. As standard equipment, it had steel wheels; four speeds forward and one reverse, and had a belt pulley and a PTO. There are no grills or other sheet metal covering the radiator. These tractors are extremely desirable. The 1935 Model B's are called "Brass Tag" because they have a brass serial number plate. All of the John Deere two-cylinder tractors at this time were designed to run on "tractor fuel" or "distillate". Our 1935 John Deere Model B Tractor model is beautifully handmade out of tin. It features many intricate details such as 4 rolling wheels, seat, axles, shaft, steering post, frame, steering wheel, and more. Proudly display this model anywhere you like and it will surely make a conversational piece. A must-have for the collector and enthusiast!
History
The John Deere model B was introduced as a smaller tractor, to fill the needs of row-crop farmers that did not need a tractor as large as the A. It had a nearly 20-year production run, and the versions of the B can be broadly divided into three groups. The original B is often referred to as "unstyled", and includes all tractors built through 1938. In 1939, with tractor number 60000, began the "early styled" model B. In mid-1947, with tractor number 201000, began the "late styled" model B. Within the first year of production, tractors number 1000 through 3042 used a four-bolt front pedestal.
