This tractor has an interesting history as archives
research done by an early collector indicates that this tractor
may have originally been built as a BW-40, which would have made
seven BW-40's produced in 1936 instead six. It spent parts of
its first year in the Experimental and Engineering Depts. of Deere
before its conversion to a regular BW and shipment to be sold
in Sacramento. It currently has none of the parts unique to a
BW-40. The previous owner said it had 40 inch tires when he bought
it, but he obtained the current 36 inch cutoff wheels from another
collector known to me, who confirmed they were from him. This
tractor needs further research to try to confirm how it was originally
built and equipped.
