Production information on most models of John Deere Two-Cylinder Tractors is available at $45 for each research. The information will be supplied on a personalized document especially created for this purpose.

Documents will be sent flat (non-folded). The charge for shipping is $12.00 per order which includes Priority Mailing, a reinforced package (includes air mail to Canada and all other locations), and delivery confirmation. Several documents can be mailed together in the same package at no additional mailing charge. Processing time is between six to eight weeks.

Production information is available for nearly all vintage John Deere Tractors, from the Waterloo Boy through Generation II. There are some exceptions, as no production information is known to exist for Model “L” Tractors prior to serial number 625000, or for the Model “62” and Model “Y” Tractors. There also are no records for Model “M” Tractors prior to serial number 52542, for Model “W” Power Units after serial number 5289, or for Model “840” Tractors after serial number 8400848. And, regarding New Generation Tractors, the entire alpha-numeric serial number (not just the numerical sequence) must be provided to assure complete and accurate research.

We believe it is important that the requester tell us as much about their tractor(s) as possible. Some of the later models do not have full descriptions in the records. For example, all 4620s are shown in the Serial Number Register as row-crop tractors, even though some were built as Standards. Without full information from the owner, it will show on the Official Document as a row-crop tractor. There are many such examples throughout the John Deere line, but especially so with some tractors built after 1960. Please take the time to fully describe your tractor when requesting research.

The production information available varies considerably from model to model, and sometimes from tractor to tractor within a given model. For example, shipping destinations are not available for any tractors built at the Dubuque Tractor Works, specific shipping destinations (other than the Branch House Territory) are sometimes not available for Waterloo-built tractors, optional equipment is typically not available for most Waterloo tractors built in the 1950s (and is inconsistently available for earlier tractors), and a “build” date is not necessarily the date a tractor was built as much as it is the date that the tractor was entered into inventory.
