Description
Nice non renovated John Deere Model B, which for many years has been used on a farm in Lövestad, Skåne. One of only 147 made with a kerosene engine. This is a very genuine tractor with wonderful patina. Partially repainted for many years ago.
Like the large A model, B was modernized over time. This model year 1948 means it is a so-called “styled”, a very modern design by the contemporary designer Henry Dreyfuss.
Under the hood is a 2 cylinder engine with 20 HP. This tractor has an adjustable track gauge rear, linkage and pull.

Facts about the model
In 1937 John Deere hired well known industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss from New York City to re-style Deere's agricultural equipment, especially its tractors. In the fall of 1937, a Deere tractor engineer was sent to New York to ask Dreyfuss to redesign the tractors. Legend has it that Dreyfuss was so intrigued by the project that he took a train to Waterloo that very night. Dreyfuss learned to operate the tractors and worked with them in the field to gain firsthand knowledge of the changes that needed to be made. The first two letter series tractors (the A and B) were the first to receive the new modern styling, and other models were added later. The Dreyfuss styling was intended to help John Deere compete with the forthcoming Farmall "letter series" of tractors, which, along with the Ford-Ferguson, were John Deere's largest competition at this time. Dreyfuss and the Waterloo engineers perfected the styled design that was used on all John Deere tractors with only minor changes through 1959.
