Ddey65 ◊ 2012-04-06 18:26	Okay, John Deere it is then. Might be something older than a B, though. I really want to be 100% sure. -- Last edit: 2012-04-06 18:26:47

The sttering rod of the B (like most early JDs) running above the engine, and I don't see anything of the sort here. The exception amongst the row-crop JDs of the time was the "G", and this could indeed be an early (unstyled, i.e. pre-1939) one, although the placement of the exhaust and air filter let me slant towards "B" (although the G's wasn't very dissimilar). A clearer picture could help a lot to clarify.
