John Deere R

For Sale at Tamar Vintage Tractors - 1954 John Deere R
 
A fantastically bold tractor with great presence. The model R was John Deere’s first production diesel tractor.
 
The diesel engine is started by a 2-cylinder petrol donkey engine, which runs really well after having the magnetos rebuilt and starts the diesel engine effortlessly.
 
The 2-cylinder, horizontal diesel engine can produce in excess of 50HP and runs and pulls well.
 
The tinwork is in great shape and the tyres are as-new on each corner.
 
Comes with a current V5.
 
Perfect piece for a John Deere collection or would make a super road run tractor!
