I finally got my Grandpa’s tractor bought

[BrokeFarmerJohn]

I tried to buy this tractor while my grandpa was still with us but unfortunately he valued the tractor too much lol. My step grandmother agreed on a price and I picked it up just today.

The engine is free, it needs rings and idk what all else with the engine. It does have a PTO which isn’t common. Besides that it’s just a standard small bore GP.

Tractor is a 1929 John Deere General Purpose. I’m finally an owner of a Johnny Popper.

I sprayed it off after we unloaded it, I haven’t cleaned it up yet.

This tractor sat in a old sheep barn for over 20 years, wheels were sunk about a foot in the floor. Now it’s a bit more cleaned up on concrete, nice and dry.

Congratulations! :thumbsup:

My grandpa was a barber... :laughing: I got his scissors.

Congratulations. It looks like the tractor is in very good condition. I always enjoyed the sound of them at tractor pulls when I was a teenager.

You are very fortunate to have that piece of family history.

A pair of scissors would have been much cheaper lol

Thanks.

That's pretty awesome.

I inherited my Granddaddy's 1949 Dodge truck and his Remington 11-48 shotgun. I drove the truck until it started knocking and let one of my cousins have it. He took it apart but never rebuilt it and his family sold it when he passed. I still have the shotgun and many memories of hunting, fishing, and working along side my Granddaddy. I lived with my grandparents off and on throughout my childhood and spent every summer with them into my teens.

Re: I finally got my Grandpa痴 tractor bought

Congratulations. Good looking right now, and great to have that heirloom.

The side shot reminded me of another recent thread, about Tweels....... what's old is new again !

Cool! I could spend all day looking over a machine like that.

That's a really nice looking tractor. Is that the original paint?
