On AgriTalk Monday, Don in Kansas called the program to talk with Greg Peterson, also known as Machinery Pete.

Don’s grandfather and his brother sold a 1936 John Deere D that “never turned a wheel in the field.” He said the tractor has the original Montgomery Ward tires on the rear and a PTO kit that’s never been installed.

“That’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard about,” said Peterson.

Listen to their full exchange on AgriTalk above.
