Barn Find: A 1936 John Deere Sold For $75 — What Was Hidden Inside Was Worth A Fortune

ticed — through nineteen years of sitting in his own weeds — was what one of his predecessors had bolted onto the inside of that tractor's hood in 1948. By the end of August, the seventy-five-dollar pile of junk had paid for a new pickup truck, a new well on Sam Boyd's ranch, and a story that the dealership has spent forty years trying not to tell. This is a dramatised story. The historical setting — 1980s rural Texas, the John Deere Model A, period dealership culture, and the equipment of the era — is real; the characters, dialogue, and specific events are fictional and created for storytelling.
