From the Atlantic seaboard to the west coast, from the Peace River

country in Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and in all parts of the world

where standard tread tractors are used, it is the universal opinion of the

many thousands of owners that the John Deere Model "D" Tractor is theleader in all the qualities that mean greater farm profit. Plowing, disking,

drilling, planting, combining, and threshing—in all kinds of farm work—these men have found the way to save time, get their work done when

conditions are right, and do it at rock-bottom cost.

There are a great many reasons why the John Deere Model "D" is first

in the qualities you want most.

FIRST IN SIMPLICITY

Only John Deere tractors give you the simplicity of exclusive two-

cylinder engine design . . . fewer parts . . . a straight-line transmission

without power-consuming bevel gears ... a belt pulley right on the crank-

shaft, the simplest construction possible.

in all the QUALITIESthat mean GREATER Farm Profit

FIRST IN DEPENDABILITYOnly John Deere two-cylinder tractors give

you the dependability of fewer and sturdier

parts ... greater ability to stand up under heavyloads . . . proper distribution of weight for

better, more positive traction.

FIRST IN ECONOMYOnly John Deere two-cylinder tractors are

backed by a long-time record of success, efficien-

cy and safety in burning the low-cost fuels such as

distillate, furnace oil, fuel oil, stove tops, TurnerValley naphtha, and some grades of Diesel oil

... fuels that cost far less and are approximately

10% more powerful. . . fuels that the John Deere

converts into steady, dependable power ondrawbar and belt. Burning the low-cost, money-saving fuels in a John Deere tractor is no ex-

periment.

But fuel economy is not all. John DeereModel "D" owners also benefit from anothergreat economy ... the ability to inspect and ad-just their tractors right on the farm. The sim-plicity of two-cylinder design makes possiblecomplete accessibility, one of the big reasons

why a recent survey shows that 82% of Joh n Deereowners do fully 75% of their own service work.

EXTRA-LONG LIFETo the other great features listed, add the

extra years of service that the John Deere Model"D" gives, to better understand the big swing toJohn Deere two-cylinder power. Fewer, heavier,

longer-lived parts . . . the use of high-qualitymaterials, careful workmanship, and rigid in-spection ... make records of 8, 10, and even 12or more years of service not at all unusual.

Low-pressure rubber tires are availablefor the John Deere Model "D" Tractorwhen specified.

SIMPLE TwtC&de4_There are many reasons why John Deere

builds only simple, two-cylinder tractors.The simpler a tractor can be made, the less

chance there is for trouble and costly fielddelays. The fewer parts there are, the strong-er and more rugged each part can be. And

hand in hand with strength and ruggednessgoes longer life, more profit from your tractor

investment because of extra years of service.

The John Deere Model "D" not only givesyou as much, or more, power than other trac-

tors of similar size and weight, but, in addi-tion, gives you more dependable performance

John Deere doesn't build a two-cylinder tractor just tobe different. Two-cylinder engine design gives youmaximum simplicity, rugged construction for heavy-dutywork, and the ability to burn the low-cost fuels success-fully. You get: outstanding performance. ` year afteryear, with a John Deere two-cylinder tractor.

compared with four or six smaller ones, only

two pistons against four or six, only four valves

and valve springs against eight or twelve, only

ten piston rings against sixteen or twenty-four

... greater simplicity is maintained throughout

SMOOTH, RESPONSIVE POWERIn tough going. . . on drawbar and belt work

of all kinds . . . the John Deere Model "D"

Tractor delivers a smooth, ample flow of power.

Great weight and perfect balance of rotating

parts, coupled with a sensitive governor which

controls the engine at all speeds, result in

smooth, steady operation under heavy, medium,

and light loads. Loads are carried through from

one power impulse to another with perfect

uniformity.

Two-cylinder engine design also makes pos-sible two other exclusive features that turn moreof the engine power into actual working power

on drawbar and belt. Because the crankshaftof the two-cylinder engine is crosswise to theframe, power flows in a straight line throughthe spur-gear transmission. The total absence

of power-consuming bevel gears assures maxi-mum drawbar power. The belt pulley is

mounted directly on the crankshaft and delivers

full engine power to all belt-driven machines.Belt power is transmitted without the use of

gears of any kind, the simplest constructionpossible.

BURNS LOWm COST FUELSFuel is, always has been, and probably always

will be the biggest expense item in tractor oper-ation. John Deere engineers recognized thisfact many years ago when they designed thefirst Model "D" Tractor to successfully andsafely burn the low-cost fuels. They built anengine of two-cylinder design, because only this

type of engine enabled them to carry throughtheir planned fuel economy program.

SHORT, HOT MANIFOLDTwo-cylinder engine design makes possible

The manifold on the Model "D" a short, properly

is short and properly heated, and heated manifoldthe carburetor is located equi-distant from each cylinder, as- with both cylinderssuring complete fuel combustion equidistant fromand greater economy,

the carburetor. The gasified fuel travels only a

few inches, each cylinder receives the samecharge, the explosion takes place immediately.There is no chance to reliquefy. There are nodevices, no dampers in the manifold because

none are necessary. The Model "D" burns thelow-cost fuels successfully, as well as gasolineor kerosene.

SLOWER SPEED ENGINESecondly, a relatively slow-speed, two-cylinder

engine allows more time for the complete com-bustion of the heavier, slower-burning fuels.The combination of short, hot manifold with

the gasified fuel traveling the same distance toeach cylinder, and slower engine speed, are twobig reasons why there is no harmful oil dilution

in a John Deere Model "D" Tractor, resultingin far longer life of all engine parts. Burning

distillate, furnace oil, fuel oil, stove tops, TurnerValley naphtha, some grades of Diesel oil, and

other money-saving fuels is nothing new to

John Deere owners. They've been doing itseason after season.

THERMO-SIPHON TEMPERATURECONTROL

John Deere engineers also provide for ade-quate and positive temperature control. No

matter whether it is a hundred in the shade, orbelow zero, you can always keep a John Deereengine at the proper temperature for complete

fuel combustion, maximum power, and greatestfuel economy.

The John Deere thermo-siphon system ofcooling quickly and automatically warms theengine to its proper operating temperature. The

Arrowsindicate direction ofwater flow.

Swater does not start circulating until the engine is hot enough toburn the fuel efficiently, then water circulation begins and con-tinues, automatically, always supplying the cooled water to thehottest engine parts where cooling is most needed. There's nopump to leak, wear, or cause trouble. The fan is gear- and shaft-driven, no belts.

From the tractor seat, the Model "D" operator can not onlywatch the temperature gauge, but by means of handy control lever,open or close the radiator shutter to maintain proper enginetemperature under varying conditions.

NATURAL-DRAFT CARBURETIONEfficiency and economy are also aided materially by theJohnDeere

natural-draft fuel induction system. The fuel is drawn downwardfrom the carburetor, through the short, properly heated manifold,into the combustion chambers. This design aids combustion,permits development of maximum power, and assures uniform fueleconomy at all engine speeds.

POSITIVE LUBRICATION

This illustration shows the engine lubri-

cation system. Note how the oil is forced

under pressure by a pump through the oil

filter—how the thoroughly filtered oil is

then forced to main bearings, through

drilled leads to connecting rod bearings,

and through drilled connecting rods to

piston pins. The overflow of oil, which is

forced out around the bearings, is caught

by the revolving crankshaft and thrown to

cylinder walls, cam shaft, and all other parts

in the crankcase, bathing them in oil. A

direct oil line from the force-feed oil pump

assures positive lubrication of the governor.

An oil line leading to the tappet case cover

lubricates valve stems, rocker arms, and

tappets.

There is no more positive system of lubrica-

tion than the full-pressure, force-feed system

used in the John Deere Model "D" Tractor. Oilis forced under pressure to main bearings, con-necting rod bearings, piston pins and governor.

An oil line conducts oil to the valve stems,

rocker arms, and tappets. Overflow oil is thrown

over all other engine parts by the crankshaft.

Transmission gears, revolving in a constantbath of oil, are automatically lubricated. Pres-

sure grease-gun fittings make short work of

greasing the few places where it is necessary to

lubricate by hand.

DIRT AND DUST EXCLUDED

Adequate safeguards for keeping out dust and

dirt are also provided. All parts are housed in a

dust-proof, oil-tight case and high-quality oil

seals are used. The oil wash-down air cleaner

removes all dust and grit from the air that is

OTHER `SAFEGUARDSdrawn into the engine. The air travels through the oil in the

base of the cleaner, causing the oil to rise as a mist, thoroughly

saturating the dust and dirt. The air and dust-laden oil are

drawn part way into the closely crimped wire screens in the body

of the cleaner unit where the dirty oil is arrested. Only clean air

reaches the engine. The John Deere oil wash-down air cleaneris quickly and easily serviced.

Fuel is twice-filtered. The John Deere crankcase breather

and ventilator (described below) removes injurious gases and

vapors before they can condense and form oil sludge, andhelps the oil to retain its lubricating qualities regardless of the

kind of fuel being used. An additional safeguard is the improved,

easily serviced, life-time oil filter which thoroughly cleans the oil.
