JOHN DEERE MACHINE GUN TRACTOR

CARRIER, WHEELED, 4X2, MG


In 1941 the John Deere company produced this armoured version of its Model A Tractor. It had a crew of 3 and was powered by a John Deere, 2-cylinder engine. It was designed for moving cargo in dangerous areas. The armament was three .30cal machine guns; besides the driver’s machine gun, there were two more in a pod on either side of the engine with a gunner in each pod. There were four versions before development was dropped.
