Hopefully this isn t posted in the wrong section. Just throwing this out there to see if I get any leads. I live in central Florida. My grandaddy traded his John Deere 40U , serial # 63724 , into the local dealership back in the early 80 s. The owner of the dealership and life long friend of my grandaddys , Ross Lanier, took it home that night and put in his barn. In the mid 90 s Ross loaded up the 40 along with a yellow 3010/3020 grove tractor and moved to Quitman, Arkansas. I was a teenager at the time And never saw him again and had no way to contact him, I didn t even know where I went until just a few years ago. A family member out there got me up to date, said he remembered both of the tractors and they had sold them after Ross has passed, this and prob been at least 15 years ago, if not more. He was pretty sure a fellow that had a road side produce stand or farmers market in Guy, Arkansas had bought the 40. He also said that it was still in good shape at the time. That is its last location I know of, dead ended. I am not familiar with that area or know anyone out there. If any one reading this has any kind of information at all that would help me find the tractor I would love to hear from you. It could easily be in another state far away by now. I do not have an actual photo of the 40, All I have is the ledger books from the dealership where my grandaddy originally bought it. Again ,I d like to hear ANY leads or information anyone has regarding the area , people there, or whereabouts of the tractor. Thanks
