They Went Bankrupt and Left Their Tractors in the Field...His Model D Saved Him

In 1923, John Deere built a tractor so simple that everyone called it "plain." Three words defined it: Cheap. Simple. Unbreakable. While competitors sold chrome-plated machines with fancy styling, the Model D had exposed engines and zero decoration. The dealer laughed. The engineers worried. But farmers? Farmers bought it—and refused to let it die for 30 straight years. This is the untold story of the John Deere Model D, the vintage tractor that survived the Great Depression, powered America through WWII, and stayed in production from 1923 to 1953 despite John Deere trying to discontinue it THREE times. When the board said "stop," farmers drove 800 miles to headquarters and said "NO."
