John Deere Linderman

[Heidi]

Hello,
I am looking for information on my John Deere Linderman antique tractor that I believe to be a 1944, or earlier. I have been looking for information for some time now and everyone I have talked to do not know anything about this particular tractor. The worth of this tractor would be greatly appreciated along with any other factual information. This tractor has been in a barn its whole life and is still in running condition with minimal rust. It has tracts that have been put on instead of tires, and has no blade. There is farm equipment that I have to be used behind the tractor as well. I believe it is a model BO based on the owners manual I’m looking at right now. The manual number is OM-RBRI-646 the tractor number is 333676. That you and my contact information is e/mail [email protected].

There's lots of information around and it's worth whatever somebody will pay for it.

If you've been Web-searching, you need to spell "Lindeman" correctly. Jesse Lindeman was a Cletrac dealer in Washington state that started converting Deere tractors into crawlers around 1939. GPs, BOs, and maybe even a D. Lindeman Company helped Deere create the MC crawler and sold their company to Deere in 1947.

My neighbor had a BO Lindeman sitting in his barn for years. Still ran, all original, no blade. Last year he died and his son stuck it in the local auction. A friend of mine bought it for $1500, and stuck it on Ebay. sold it the next day for $4500.
