1952 John Deere AR

1952 John Deere AR

Bought new by my dad to farm his original homestead of 160 acres. He maintained and cared for the tractor until today, when he gifted it to my son Tyler. It still has all the original drivetrain and body parts and runs and drives fine. We have done a soft restoration with most of the parts purchased from Steiner. I freshened it up and polished the original paint. We will keep it in the family name for years to come, although it likely will have an easier life no longer pulling the Massey Harris seed drill or the Versatile pull type swather. Parade floats may be the heaviest load it will see. It is a great old tractor.
