To many people, the name John Deere is synonymous with farm tractors. The big, green machines are popular all over the country, and especially beloved are the two-cylinder, General Purpose models known as "Johnny Poppers" for the distinctive "pop-pop" of their engines.
Big Green John Deere General Purpose Tractors is the story of John Deere, the man, and the history and development of the company's General Purpose tractors. Included are all of the early developmental models, the Waterloo Boy, Models D, C, GP, A, B, G, H, and M, the numbered series, and the "Utility" tractors of the 1940s and '50s.
Over 120 color and black and white photographs illustrate the history of the General Purpose tractor from the first experimental Melvin tractor of 1912, to 1959's Model 435 Diesel, the last new two-cylinder General Purpose model.
