This 1945 John Deere BR tractor was refurbished before being purchased by the seller in 2025. The tractor is finished in green and yellow, and power is from a gasoline-fueled 175ci twin paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include headlights, a screen-style grille, a body-color intake stack, a pin hitch, and a rear power take-off shaft. Work in preparation for the sale involved replacing the fuel lines, rebuilding the fuel valve, overhauling the carburetor, and changing the oil. This John Deere BR is now offered at no reserve in Missouri with a bill of sale.
The John Deere Model B series was introduced in 1935, and several variants were produced through 1952. The body and running gear of this BR example were repainted green with yellow John Deere lettering under prior ownership. A body-color intake stack extends through the engine cover, and other features include headlights, a rear work light, rear fenders, and hand-operated shutters behind the screen-style grille.
Yellow-finished steel wheels wear single-rib front and 11.2-28″ Firestone Field & Road rear tires. Stopping power is provided by a mechanical expanding differential brake. Cracks are visible in the front tire sidewalls.
The operator’s station houses a spring-suspended steel seat, and 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, amperage, and water temperature. The tractor is not equipped with an hour meter, therefore total runtime is unknown.
The gasoline-fueled 175ci twin retains its 6-volt electrical system and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The seller reports that work in preparation for the sale included overhauling the carburetor, replacing the fuel lines, rebuilding the fuel valve, coating the exhaust manifold and muffler, and changing the oil.
The tractor is equipped with a pin hitch and a rear power take-off shaft.
