@@tubefluid good on you…these are real mens tractors…all steel no plastic no Ad blue or sensors tractors you can work on instead of being shut out and having to get a technician in with a ‘fault finder’ like they do today…i envy you sir for having one
@@russellking9762 You spend a day on a new tractor with climate control and all the new goodies, and then go spend a day on one of these. I bet you won’t be so nostalgic.
@@ralphllivrah9551 You spend a week trying to ring John Deere asking to speak to a technician about these engine fault codes…i bet you wish you were back in one of these
Allis-Chalmers had it all over John Deere prior to 1960,it was much stronger,easier to operate,maintain.Starting in 1960,Deere"moderized"their tractors by getting rid of the hand clutch,the twin cylinder diesel engine(4-6 cylinder diesels replaced the old"Johnny poppers")and since then,JD quickly became the number one brand in American/Canadian farming.
Greg Gergen The AC would nearly match the old"Johnny Popper"in fuel economy too,with its"direct injection"system and turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine.
EZ570 yet there is still high demand for them. Some actually used for farming, a lot used for tractor pulls and many of them being restored. I sold mine for what I paid for and it was taken and restored and I believe its back to work. She was in working condition when I got rid of her but I don't farm. I was using it for lifting and a hydraulic scraper pan for moving earth.
@@RJ1999x tractordata.com says the D21 MSRp'd for $5700.00 in 1964. They must base that on some historical fact. The 4020 didn't sell for that much in 1964, though.
@@42lookc information on the internet, is usually wrong. Tractordata usually has weights and other figures wrong. Although $5700 in 1964 was a lot of money for the time
Dicky Hanor not sure what you are asking sir? There has been quite a number of D-21's that have been restored and are show pieces, and I have seen some souped up for tractor pulls, but not a whole lot of them working units in the fields.
Bright orange so the dealer mechanic could find them in the field no matter the time of year, oh and they matched the color of the flame when they burned up lol, don't get butt hurt just having fun as I bleed green
LOL! Back when I was in grade school, one of my classmates family had a Deere dealership. And I was an orange guy. We always had good natured ribbing back and forth. I remember in 6th grad, the nun (yes, Catholic school) made the 2 of us have a debate, as that's what we were studying. I did a lot of studying and asked my dad several questions that he had answers for. When we were done, the other kids voted me the winner. :) It was fun.
Jslowbro I won't argue with that. Had to drive mine about 30 miles across the Mississippi River to have a clutch, rear brakes and bearings put in it. took nearly the whole tank.
I saw the specs on it and in terms of consumption it's crazy. I've got a 7045 and I burned 90 gallons in a day chiseling 35 acres. hard pulling tractors but they eat gas like a crack addict smokes
Not true at all, Allis Chalmers were very fuel efficient, if you burned 90 gallons of diesel to do 35 acres you have something wrong , not only that the 7045 doesn't hold 90 gallons of fuel
