In the USA this is known as the 'Popping Johnny' due to the noise of it's horizontal 2-cylinder engine (5-1/2 litre petrol) ...said to have such a great turning circle that it can out turn a London taxi three times over.! -- Last edit: 2006-11-06 01:19:33 |

This is a 1947-1952 "late" styled John Deere Model A (pressed steel frame.) The tight turning radius of these two-cylinder John Deere tractors was achieved through the rear wheels having individual brakes, in which one could be pressed to turn a very tight circle. The two front wheels being close together was the most common configuration, often called a "row crop" front. |
