ABOUT THE COVER

The Model “H” Tractor went into regular production mode in January 1939, after the first of them was built in October 1938. Production was soon halted, as the original cast crankshafts were deemed to be unsatisfactory over the long haul and were replaced by the drop-forged, special-quality steel type of other John Deere Tractors. Consequently, publication and distribution of this 36-page page literature was delayed until March 1940. It states the correct crankshaft material.

Two-Cylinder (ISSN 0899-2258) is the official publication for members of the Two-Cylinder Club®, and is available to anyone interested in the preservation of John Deere Tractors and related products.

The Two-Cylinder Club was chartered in Iowa in 1985 as a nonprofit service, educational, and recreational organization; and extends an invitation of membership to individuals interested in the preservation of John Deere Tractors and Implements and their important role in our agricultural heritage.
