The John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractor Encyclopedia: The Complete Model-By-Model History
  Here at last is the encyclopedia to the great John Deere two-cylinder tractors! This complete model-by-model history covers all the big green machines from the Waterloo Boy of 1912 through the Model D's introduction to the last 30 Series tractors of 1959.
Model variations, paint phases, specifications, serial-number listings, brochures, and replica toys—it's all here in exquisite detail. Tractors are pictured in rare and sometimes never-before-seen Deere & Company archival photographs as well as color images of machines today in original or restored condition.
