Green and yellow John Deere Tractors are an iconic, all-American brand that is going strong to this day. But, while John Deere’s newest models feature all of the high-tech bells and whistles, there is something endearingly simple about an old John Deere tractor. Old-school tractors were not computer-controlled, they were affordable, simple, and easy to fix. You can’t say that about new John Deere tractors.
If you have an old John Deere laying around, antique John Deere tractor parts can be found online. Restoring that old tractor is not just fun, it can be profitable; a restored 1952 John Deere A model recently sold for $13,500, and a 1949 Model B John Deere Asparagus sold for $15,000. While that’s a lot for a 70 or an 80-year-old tractor, it’s one-tenth the cost of a new John Deere.
However, a restored tractor is much more than a collector’s item, it can also be useful around the farm. Once it’s running again, your antique John Deere can easily plow snow off the driveway, tow a trailer, or plow rows for a garden. Best of all, it will look good doing it. Antique, green, and yellow John Deere tractors are eye-catching and iconic.
Once you find your antique John Deere tractor parts, the fun begins. While restoring an old tractor is a lot of work, it is a lot more straightforward than trying to fix a new tractor. But, the end result will be an iconic piece of Americana that enhances your farm.
