Today I finally stopped and took a closer look at this old John Deere tractor that has been for sale on the side of the road at this old tractor rehab. place. It has been setting there for at least 2 or 3 years and each time I drove by it I thought what a neat looking tractor but did not have the time to stop and look. I have tried searching the web for information on this tractor model but could not find any. Do any of you old time John Deere buffs out there have any info. on these tractors? It has a 3 cylinder John Deere diesel. I was expecting to see a Yanmar but the tractor was evidently much older than I expected. It appears that all the sheetmetal and gauges have been replaced and it has a quickie John Deere green paint job slapped on top of already peeling paint. I checked the data/serial # plate and it said made in Germany. As best I could tell; it resembled the old 1010 and 2010's but had 4WD. What do you figure it might be worth. I was having some wild and senseless thoughts about a possible restoration project if the price was right. It was in rough shape.

Chief, The description is vague for the tractor you are looking at,
Hope this helps cure your winter boredom
Lanz & J. Deere: Tractor with future




John Deere and Lanz present the new types 300 - 500
Many tractor-interested looked beginning of the 60's strained to Mannheim. The two firms of world-wide reputation John Deere and Lanz had united and presented their first common tractor constructions: JOHN DEERE LANZ types 300 (28 HP) and 500 (36 HP).
Look at Picture # 6 and see if it looks similar

The 1030 was never sold new in the U.S. The U.S. versions were 820, 830, and 1530. They were still built in Germany. I think the engine and transmission parts should be interchangeable, but sheet metal and lighting may not match. The U.S. versions were good, dependable tractors. It should make an interesting project. ....

Sorry Chief, I mis understood. I thought you said it looked like a 1030 but with 4wd. I did not think it was a 1030, but a similar version and I thought maybe being it was Germany that it may have been one of the JD/Lanz tractors. ....

Sorry Chief,I stand corrected. The picture you posted of the 1030 more closely resembles a 2040 in U.S version. You mentioned a Yanmar engine in your first post, but these models used only Deere's own engines. ....
