Little John Deere

I found this while surfing the net. I thought you guys might like this, unfortunately I don't know anything about it. Maybe someone out there does.

Looks like a working scale model of an older JD. I've seen working scales of steam engines on the Classic Tractor show on RFDTV, but thas the first I've seen of a tractor.

Talk to John MillerIII. He'll likely be able to tell you all about this little beauty.

Can you imagine what that thing is worth as a working antique?

What a great little tractor!

JD ought to start making those again with an underbelly mower. Would sell like hotcakes, but probably cost about $10,000.

I'll keep an eye on the thread to see if anyone comes up with any info on this.

Boy, would my grandkids love it if I had one of those!

The heck with the grandkids, I would like one of those. If it was a bit bigger, I would swap my 425 for it in a minute.

That little tractor was probably a labor of love....probably priceless.

It is mighty fine looking, but I think anyone who wants one better be ready to build it themselves!!

Boy, building something like that would be like restoring or building an old Model T.

It is amazing the response that something like this little tractor generates. There is something about tractors that just fascinates us. I have seven grandsons, and everytime they come to visit, the first thing they want to see in my JD750. They love it. I have to give them rides up and down the road, take pictures of them in the drivers seat, etc. etc. They just love that tractor. I was the same way with my grandfather's tractor many years ago when he lived in Maine. I am still fascinated by them. Something passed along in the genes?

If I had something like this parked in my barn for them to play with, they would be on cloud nine

I agree that building something like this would be a labor of love. If someone even started building them on a limited production basis he would have more orders than he could handle.
