Cool Re: Heavy Machines powered by GM diesels or Detroits

I thought I'd revive the thread back from the dead I had just gotten back from Grand Island where they had a tractor show called the Classic Green Reunion it was a John Deere only show and to what my wondering eyes did appear but a 1961 John Deere 8020 that was sold in 1965. Supposedly the story goes that a famer who owned a large farm wanted a large plow and tractor to use on his operation so he traveled to Waterloo, Iowa and saw this 8020 well John Deere didn't want to sell it anymore since it pretty much was a flop. Mr. farmer okay since you don't wanna sell me that tractor I'll take my cash and go home. Hey, hey, hey, hey wait a minute if you've got cash right here and now maybe there's a deal we can work out with you sir I think we can sell you that 8020. And like a Detroit should this ol' girl had drip pans underneath her lol
