"Legends Of Time" Updates


The "Friends of John Deere" committee is announcing that Harold Brock is planning to attend. Harold worked at Henry Ford before going to John Deere. He developed the POWER-SHIFT TRANSMISSION for John Deere. He is looking forward, if his health remains good, to be there to answer questions. He will be in the John Deere Tent.

There will also be three of the John Deere engineers, if their health remains good, who helped develop the 8010-8020 Tractor there for you to talk to. It is the "50 Year Celebration" of the Tractor. The Seminar on the Pony Motor of the Two-Cylinder Diesel Tractor by Earl Seamands is still being planned, day and time will be announced later.

Above is a picture of the 1/32 scale 8010 4-wheel-drive-articulated tractor with the F180 8-bottom plow that may be purchased at the Show. A limited number will be available. If you are interested and want to order before the show, please contact Darrel Fischer (815) 383-4367. The price of the tractor and plow will be $85.00.


Many Thanks to Marilyn Moore for this update.
