John Deere 60 Before and After

One of our winners, Kris Johnston, of our Farm First Kits, sent in this story and pictures of their 1952 John Deere 60 restoration. Thanks for sharing!

1952 John Deere Model 60. This was my wife’s Dad’s last tractor. It was sold at his farm auction in 1988. The fellow that bought it left it set outside in a weed patch since then, so the weather took its toll. Aaron Sheetz of Stockport, Iowa did the major part of the restoration, and we did use some parts from Steiner. Restoration was started in October of 2014, and finished June 6, 2015. We took the tractor to the Scotland County Antique Fair in Memphis, Missouri the latter part of August 2015, and received the Best Restored Classic Tractor there out of about 75 shown.
