It’s a John Deere tractor; I can’t tell what the model is though. |

Looking at the position of the air intake and exhaust, it could only be either a Model "A" or "B". The shape of the flywheel makes this one an "A". Refer to the pics of the different models on http://www.johnnypopper.com/ |

This is a model B (styled) tractor. There are 7 slots in the grill on the front. A model A (styled) would have 8 slots. |

Same here. Rotoscoping is an awesome technique for animation. I love how they simply captured footage of a real tractor and trace every frame of it on cels. I wish I had the ability to pull that off. |
