Tractor hobbyists need accurate components for headlights
Luckily, most farmers way back when knew their land in their sleep. To make the most of their short planting season, they likely needed to finish plowing the back 40 after dinner, in the dark. They would then make their way home, without the convenience of having back or front lights on their tractor. Electric lighting was usually an option on farm tractors between the 1930s and 1950s. Many ordered this handy feature. Farmers who chose to forego tractor lighting probably had a few stressful evenings. After all, the work needed to get done; no matter the hour. Farmers are glad that lights are standard on todays farm equipment. Tractor restorers often have to replace vintage headlights and taillights. Over time, the gaskets experience dry rot, reflectors scratch, wiring fails, glass cracks, light terminals crack and holdings get rusted. Thankfully Steiner Tractor Parts offers a comprehensive list of repair components. You can also get light kits at Steiner, too. Steiner Tractor Parts offers lights for John Deere 2 cylinder Waterloo models (A, B, 50, 60, 520, 530 etc) that feature correct stud length. Be careful, while some aftermarket companies list lights for these models, they do not always have the accurate stud length. The stud length on our part number, JDS603 (6 volt) and JDS606 (12 volt) is 1-3/16 inch, just like your original lights. These are correct for the John Deere Model A, and Model B, with the sheet metal dash. If you have a John Deere Model A or Model B with a cast iron dash, Steiner also sells the tractor lights (which are correct for the John Deere Dubuque models, too) with extended stud and bushing. Many other styles of lights are also available including tail light assemblies for earlier and later models.

Tractors $9.95 Of all motor vehicles the farm tractor has proved to be among the most beneficial. It has freed hundreds of thousands of laborers and horses from backbreaking toil on the land in all weathers and it has stabilized the cost of food. Starting with steam power in the middle of the nineteenth century, the agricultural tractor became motorized in the early years of the twentieth century. From vast prairie types, lighter, one-man machines arrived in time to avert famine in the First World War. Mass production followed, which brought the price of tractors within reach of the average farmer. Meanwhile tractors changed from being simple substitutes for draught animals to highly sophisticated machines, with power takeoffs and hydraulically mounted implements. Pneumatic tires and diesel engines revolutionized the 1930s market, after which draught control and then inexpensive four-wheel-drive made sure that fuel and time went into crop production rather than wheelspin. This marked the end of the widespread use of tracked crawlers, as powerful and efficient wheeled tractors took their place, incorporating the latest multi-range transmission technology. All the key developments and significant tractor makers are described in this book, from the beginning of the tractor's development to the 1970s. Illustrated by period views of machines at work and in contemporary sales literature, this is a nostalgic history of the machine that has been at the center of agricultural life since before World War II. From the Trade Paperback edition. |
