From light-duty farm vehicles to rugged freight wagons, the book captures the range and craftsmanship that defined John Deere’s early transportation equipment. A valuable resource for collectors, historians, and restorers, this publication serves as a visual archive of the company’s legacy in horse-drawn vehicles.
For those interested in detailed specifications and period illustrations, we recommend pairing this with our John Deere Wagons #31 Reproduction of the 1910 Sales Catalog for further reference.
