Real Life Machine
John Deere built the Model 40 during the 1950s as a compact successor to the Model M family. Its two-cylinder gasoline engine supplied practical power for cultivation, mowing, hauling, and general utility work. Industrial versions were adapted for nonfarm duties, including grounds maintenance, material handling, and municipal service, and were sometimes finished in high-visibility colors. The Model 40's relatively small size and maneuverability made it useful where larger tractors were inconvenient, helping it remain popular among restorers and collectors.
