  • The 9630 is the biggest tractor made by John Deere.
  • This is the biggest model. Note the steel weights, 115 lbs. apiece in front to maintain balance. Don't count 'em; there are 22, 2,500 lbs-worth.
  • The mudguards contoured around the tires are the deisel fuel tanks, 375 gal. each, two per tractor.

  • The main part of Main Street, Gladbrook, IA. The restaurant/religious book shop is on the right.
