Real Life Machine
John Deere began offering the styled Model B in 1939, updating the earlier B with streamlined sheet metal associated with industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss. The tractor retained the economical two-cylinder engine layout that made Deere machines familiar across rural America. Model B tractors were used for planting, cultivating, light plowing and general farm tasks, particularly on smaller farms where a larger machine was unnecessary. Production of the B continued into the early 1950s, with numerous improvements over time. Its modest size, practical capabilities and distinctive exhaust sound helped establish a loyal following. Today styled Model B tractors are popular restoration projects and key examples of classic John Deere design.
