The story

The Model D was a large standard tractor built by John Deere for thirty years, from 1923 to 1953. Unlike the other letter-series John Deere tractors, it never moved to a number name and stayed the D throughout.

It weighed around 5,000 lb and produced about 22.5 hp at the drawbar, with a drawbar pull of more than 3,200 lb. When production finally ended, the Model R took its place as John Deere's big standard tractor.

Did you knowNo John Deere tractor was built for longer than the Model D, which stayed in production for 30 years.
