Available in Paradise, Pennsylvania, this 1938 John Deere A for sale is an unstyled two-cylinder row-crop tractor offered at $4,100 OBO. Built during the final years before John Deere transitioned the Model A to its styled appearance, this tractor represents an important period in Deere's letter-series history.
John Deere introduced the Model A in 1934 as a new general-purpose row-crop tractor. Deere's own historical material notes that the Model A incorporated features such as adjustable wheel spacing, a raised operator platform, and power lift. The familiar styled redesign arrived for the 1939 model year, making a 1938 example part of the earlier unstyled Model A generation. John Deere

Two-Cylinder John Deere Power
Published specifications for the 1934–1938 Model A commonly list a John Deere 309-cubic-inch, two-cylinder, liquid-cooled horizontal all-fuel engine. Rated engine speed was approximately 975 RPM, reflecting the slow-speed, large-displacement design associated with classic John Deere two-cylinder tractors. TractorData
Published period specifications list approximately 18 claimed drawbar horsepower and 24 claimed belt horsepower, with testing figures around 18.72 drawbar horsepower and 24.71 belt horsepower for this early Model A generation. TractorData
These tractors were designed when belt-driven farm equipment and drawbar work were major parts of everyday agricultural operations.
Four-Speed Transmission and 2WD Layout
The early Model A used a four-speed unsynchronized manual transmission with four forward gears and one reverse. The tractor is a conventional two-wheel-drive row-crop design with manual steering and an open operator station. TractorData
That configuration distinguishes the early unstyled tractors from later Model A revisions. John Deere increased the Model A engine displacement beginning in 1940 and later changed the transmission to six forward speeds, so the 1938 tractor belongs to the earlier mechanical generation. TractorData
