yarnall Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Your 420 looks great. Here is my 1957 420. It is my only John Deere. I am more of a Red Power guy, but I love this tractor. I don't really farm. I have the brush hog hooked to it now. Not the best picture. I sold the Model T. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47191-2-cylinder-john-deere/#findComment-348253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead204 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 B Mack, I sure hope that is a saw dust or snow bucket! the torque tube on a 40 or 420 wont take a full bucket of sand or dirt, watched my uncle snap his 40 in half after getting a bucket full of sand!

Back In Black Pulling Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hasn't pulled it yet. Had to make his own block because it blew 2 factory one a part . I believe he has to fix the diff yet. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47191-2-cylinder-john-deere/#findComment-353140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 What a beast. The 720 diesel set a fuel performance record that was not equaled for many years. I do not think this one will do as well. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47191-2-cylinder-john-deere/#findComment-353147 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The best tractor pull I ever saw was a showdown between an 830 John Deere and a Farmall Super M at the antique tractor pull. Long story short, both made a full pull, they put all the weight they had in the sled, both made a full pull, then they had several,about 6 or 8 ....uh, we'll just say "large" men get in the sled, and the M finally won it. The funniest thing was when the John Deere came unhooked on the second pull, and the driver just kept on going, never looking back. The official was jumping up and down,waving his arms, yelling,..and the 830 just kept on chugging along. But I have to give him credit, it never seemed to strain, never changed it's tone, it just kept on pulling when it was hooked to the sled. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
