Tractor Stories – 1950 John Deere G

The pictures are of my John Deere Model ‘G’ Tractor that my uncle bought new in 1950 from Casement Implement of Fordville N.D.
My cousin Lawrence had the tractor for many years but it was left outside and rusted out the radiator and all the water pipes. The engine was stuck on one piston and the tires were all cracked up. I called it a real ‘rust bucket’. However all the metal was in good condition. After a year of restoration with lots of  parts from Steiner Tractor it turn out very nice.
