This 1942 John Deere BR is powered by a gasoline-fueled 149ci twin paired with a six-speed manual transmission and is finished in green and yellow. Features include a screen-style grille, rear fenders, a downward-facing muffler, a hitch, and a rear power take-off shaft. The tractor was reportedly refurbished under previous ownership, and work in 2024 included rebuilding the carburetor, replacing the radiator hoses and magneto cap, and changing the transmission and engine oil. This John Deere BR is now offered at no reserve in Missouri with a bill of sale.
The John Deere Model B was introduced in 1935 and several variations were produced through the end of the run in 1952. This BR example underwent a refurbishment during previous ownership, at which time the hood and fenders are said to have been replaced and the tractor refinished in green with replacement John Deere badging. Features include hand-operated shutters behind a screen-style grille and rear fenders.
Yellow-finished steel wheels wear 5.50-16″ Armstrong Tru-Trac front and 13.6-24″ Firestone Traction Field & Road rear tires. Stopping power is provided by a mechanical expanding differential brake. Cracking is noted on the tires.
The operator’s station is equipped with a steel seat. Controls include a hand throttle, a brake pedal on the left, and a shutter lever and a clutch lever on the right. The shift lever is mounted on top of the transmission case.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits above gauges for oil pressure and water temperature. The tractor is not equipped with an hour meter, and total runtime is unknown.
