Auto Credit Based on LordofLego's 1948 John Deere G

Well, my last tractor was fairly warmly received. I say fairly because one military-themed idiot with three accounts who hates me way too much rated it one star with all three accounts just because he hates me. But everyone else liked it. Anyway, I wasn't going to make ALL the old John Deere tractors, but Walrus Jr. from WalrusAircraft said it brought back memories of when he was a young child and when I asked if he would like to see the whole lineup he said he'd love to, so this is dedicated to him.

The John Deere model B was introduced as a smaller tractor, to fill the needs of row-crop farmers that did not need a tractor as large as the A. It had a nearly 20-year production run, and the versions of the B can be broadly divided into three groups. The original B is often referred to as "unstyled", and includes all tractors built through 1938. In 1939, with tractor number 60000, began the "early styled" model B. In mid 1947, with tractor number 201000, began the "late styled" model B. Within the first year of production, tractors number 1000 through 3042 used a four-bolt front pedestal. In June of 1938, production began on the new "styled" John Deere model B for the 1939 model year. This upgraded B featured a larger engine and new sheet metal. The "late-styled" B represented the final major upgrade to the John Deere model B when production began in February of 1947. The engine size was increased for a third time, and a gasoline-only configuration became available. The frame was now made from pressed steel, and the new padded seat sat on top of a battery box and electric starting and lighting became standard equipment. The Roll-o-Matic front end became available, and the BNH/BWH disappeared as separate models. The BW and BN remained, but now used a convertible front which allow the tractor's front-end to be changed. The rear axle was the key distinction with casting B2405R used for the plain model B, and B2406R used for the BW/BN.

VTOL forward to a little bit under the second line from the top and 100% throttle to get going. If the back wheels start bouncing and slipping, slow down the throttle and turn the VTOL down. You can't have them both at 100%, or bad things will happen. I tried to weight it down in the back as best as I could, but it's still probably not enough. Steer with yaw, but not too hard. This one has cockpit view as well. Again, same precautions, start right away and don't get stuck. Don't go mountain climbing with it. I also added a drawbar to this model, with a free-swinging rotator as the hitch. You can add any implements you want to it. Keep in mind that this will change the way the tractor drives.

Last but not least: If TheGuyIMentionedAtTheBeginning wants to triple-one-star this one, go ahead. Bring it on. I already told the devs about last time. If that's not enough to get you banned for good, doing it again certainly will. So please, do it again. I want you gone. And I'm sure my followers would all be happy to come and give your ugly pink ripoff of this a few one-star ratings of your own, if you decide to do that. You know who you are. I'm watching you.

    @Motorcycle760 It wasn't that big of tractor, so I didn't build it very big. I am only going to do one or two large-scale ones because they're more difficult, and after my last experience with large -scale building, I'm not too thrilled about it. By hitches I'm assuming you mean attatchements, because it already has a hitch. Don't worry, I'll get to it.

    @PlanesOfOld Yeah. He does sound like an American. I want him out of my country! I am about ready to start on the Lanz. Do you have any preference as to which version I make?

    He is American most likely from the west. Most likely has never gone to another state or country, most likely doesn't know what the AVRO Vulcan is @LordofLego

    @PlanesOfOld Well, you make boats now. When you're done with them, you could try a couple old tractors.

    @nickasaurusrex Well, I thought he was British, but after he insulted Britain so much on Kamcord, I guess he isn't. Perhaps North Korea or Soviet Russia? IDK.

    @WalrusAircraft I'll see what I can do about that. I don't know a lot about the big, modern ones, but it shouldn't be too hard.

    Very nice. Sr. here. I used to drive a lot of Deere. I would like to see a large, articulated version once you are done with your series.
