Usually, I write about old cars or trucks, but today I’m writing about tractors, particularly about John Deere tractors and the man that started the company, plus an East Bay location where you can view this piece of machinery.
The company was incorporated in 1868 under the Deere and Company name. Deere, himself, was active in civic activities and in 1873 became the second mayor of Moline. He built his first tractor in 1918. Many consider John Deere products to be the “Cadillac” of the agricultural community, which is California’s largest industry.

The National Registry Park owned by the city of San Ramon called Forest Home Farms. The 16-acre park land was donated by the Boone Family to San Ramon. They have about 45 classic tractors of different makes from the 1920s to the 1960s displayed, including John Deere, Farmall, Case and Oliver.
