Interesting facts about the history of John Deere are included on the
puzzle box.
The Model 730 (1958)
The new "30" series of tractors came with many new improvements.
They featured:
1 - a quieter, easier starting engine
2 - new styled rear fenders that provided greater protection from dirt,
dust, mud and accidental contact with the rear wheels.
3 - a new lighting system, giving greater visibility at night whether
traveling the roads or working the fields.
The John Deere tractors produced between 1918 and 1960 occupy a special
niche in the history of farm mechanization. Early 2 cylinder tractors
were originally developed simply as a replacement for the horse. Their
unique horizontal 2 cylinder engine design sets them apart from tractors
manufactured by most other companies.
These early John Deere tractors were renowned not only for their lugging
power, dependability, simplicity, and outstanding fuel economy, but also
for their distinctive sound. In many rural, Midwestern communities,
these early 2 cylinder John Deere's were affectionately referred to as
"Poppin' Jonnies" or "Johnny Poppers", because of their unique sound.
Like most early mechanical devices, the 2 cylinder John Deere tractors
evolved during their 40 year life span from a rather crude contraption
to a highly refined, well-tuned piece of machinery.
Johnny Popper replaced the horse, and in doing so created a following of
loyal enthusiasts. Hundreds of 2 cylinder John Deere tractors have been
rescued from rural junkyards, weed patches, or from behind bales of hay
in the corner of some barn and painstakingly restored. John Deere and
these old 2 cylinder tractors are a part of Americana.
