1960 John Deere 330-S

This 1960 John Deere 330-S tractor was refurbished under previous ownership before being purchased by the current owner in 2022. The tractor is finished in green and yellow, and power is from a gasoline-fueled 101ci twin paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a screen-style grille, headlights, a rear work light, a three-point hitch, top link, and a rear power take-off. This 330-S is now offered at no reserve in California with a bill of sale.

The John Deere 330 series was introduced in 1958 and remained in production until 1960. The body and running gear of this example have been repainted green with yellow side graphics. Further details include a screen-style grille and rear half fenders along with headlights and a rear work light.

Yellow-finished steel wheels wear 5.00-15″ front and 11.2-24″ rear Samson agriculture tires. Stopping power is from independent rear drum brakes.

The operator’s station is equipped with a steel seat that is fitted with cushions trimmed in black vinyl. Controls include a hand throttle as well as a clutch pedal on the left and dual pedals for the individual rear brakes on the right. The shift lever is centrally mounted on top of the transmission case.

A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a black slant dash panel that houses John Deere–branded gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and amperage. The tractor does not have an hour meter, and total runtime is unknown.

The gasoline-fueled 101ci twin was factory rated at 23 horsepower. The engine was reportedly overhauled under previous ownership, and the oil was changed in preparation for the sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The tractor is further equipped with a three-point hitch assembly, top link, and a rear power take-off shaft.
