Chris Durham has quite a collection of John Deere tractors in the general realm of the 440 and 435, plus some antecedents. Both the tractors in the feature belong to him. This 1960 440 ID was listed at $3,256, plus the options. It was loaded with pretty much everything, including the diesel, 5-speed transmission, shuttle shift, Model 71 Loader and the Model 50 Backhoe (not currently attached). It’s a late production tractor, built within about 1,400 units from the end. Other than a hasty repaint in the original Deere industrial yellow, it’s an original tractor.
