Ive been posting on the FJ40 side of the MUD Forum for over a year and never realized there was a TRACTOR Forum???!!

Before taking on the FJ40 Project I used to dabble in the world of John Deere Two Cylinders (I still do -- just not with the same intensity). Offering up a couple pictures of Tractors Ive owned/brought back to life over the years.

1959 630 Standard

1960 435 with 2-53 GM Detroit Diesel Engine

1959 430 Utility (left) and Standard (right)

1959 430 Row Crop Utility

1955 John Deere 40 Special

They did not always look so nice. . .

Can you match up the before pictures to the matching after version?

These are really cool. An amazing culture. I used to live in Georgia and passed a house that often was selling stuff that looked somewhat restored for farm use. Last summer I went to an antique tractor show near Johnson City, TN. Great stuff. Old steel is old steel.

Beautiful. My uncle, who passed away last year, was active in the Two Cylinder Club. It was always a good time visiting his farm and climbing around his barn finds. The family had an auction last year that sadly I had to miss. It was a treasure trove of John Deere history.
