John Deere's two cylinder tractors helped build a solid foundation for this American institution-not to mention the nation.John Deere Tractors retraces the early history of the company and its production of these popular models. Far from a simple listing, however, the book is about how the tractors fit into the larger drama of a company, a nation, and a world undergoing tremendous change from 1918 to 1960. From the Waterloo Boy to the 30 Series, each model is described in its historical context, includes information such as production numbers and specifications, and is placed in a unique, artful timeline.
