I just found these photos on my computer I took last year during harvest. One of our farmers still has a John Deere A tractor - in working condition. Well, for those who do not know what this tractor looks like, or why this is special, keep reading..
The John Deere Model A tractors were build between 1934 and 1952, making it between 77 and 59 years old. A total of 300 000 were build. In 1952 they cost $2 400.
Horsepower (max)
Drawbar - 31.1
PTO/Belt - 38
Engine displacement - 321 ci (5257 cc)

Having such a marvelous and antique tractor still in working condition is truly something remarkable. It shows the character of this specific tractor, and its owner. It was a sight to see it bring a load of grapes in, and we will try to get him here again this year so he can once again be part of the harvest at Darling Cellars.
Oom Bertie will appreciate this.
