The Last Deere 40
One of the best antique tractor magazines around is Two Cylinder Magazine, published by the Two Cylinder Club (P.O. Box 219, Grundy Center, Iowa 50638). It focuses exclusively on old John Deere equipment in a slick, 4-color format. With free access to Deere & Company photo files, it frequently comes up with stories and information not seen any-where else. One of the best-read sections of the magazine is the reader letter section where readers send in photos of collections or other unusual information. Following are a couple of interesting letters that appeared in a recent issue.
The Last Deere "40"
On July 19th this year I found a Model "40" Deere about 10 miles from my home. It was rusty, but not stuck. The next day, with a rebuilt carburetor and new battery, it started and ran good. What made the find unusual is that it had the serial number 60329 which means it was the last Model "40" Deere made. (Marty Garpard, Lettsworth, Louisiana)
