North Otto Tractor Parts

This John Deere 50 tractor was restored by North Otto Tractor for Bill Jones of East Otto, NY.  The tractor was purchased new by the Jones’ and had always been in their family.

This tractor is the current project under way in our shop today. The paint job should be completed this week. This just an example of a project that is in progress.

Progress Update, May 2008

This is the largest and latest John Deere 2 Cylinder tractor model made.  This tractor was built in Moline, Il, shipped to Mexico where it spent most of its working life then shipped to Ontario, Canada and then to North Otto Tractor Parts this summer.  We are very fortunate and excited to able to add this tractor to our collection.

This is a 1947 John Deere A owned by Chet Brol from East Otto, NY.  Chet is a retired dairy farmer and wanted a John Deere A like the one he farmed with many years ago.  He brought the tractor to us to get it to run and function correctly.  This is Chet’s pride and joy!  Great example of a local customer that loves his tractor.  We were very happy to get it in great running condition for him.

This tractor was my very first tractor restoration project which was the beginning of North Otto Tractor Parts as it is today.  Our Dad owned a tractor just like this one when my brothers and I were growing up and we learned to drive (and spent MANY hours) on that tractor.

   

Our Dad bought this tractor brand new in May of 1961.  We spent many hours working on this tractor as we grew up and it was a really gratifying project for Larry and I to restore Dad’s tractor to brand new condition for him.  The angle shot of the tractor with dad coming towards the camera is our favorite picture.
