The John Deere A tractor is a tractor of firsts. It is the first true John Deere row-crop tractor, the first tractor to come from the factory with rubber tires and the first to replace the hand lift or mechanical lift with hydraulics. This tractor is an unstyled row-crop tractor. Unstyled means that the tractor was built with the steering post, radiator and most of the engine exposed. Production of the John Deere A began in 1934 and there was a total of 300,00 built.
