Allan Brenner was just a kid exploring his grandparents’ farm on the northern outskirts of Wayne, Nebraska, when he came across an old tractor in one of the sheds. He was instantly intrigued by the 1937 Model A John Deere.
This 1937 Model A John Deere tractor was driven by Carl Johnson as a youth. Now, he and his grandson Allan Brenner are rebuilding the engine with plans to paint and restore the body later.
