[AJD] JD price list for 1939 & 1940???

[Duane Larson]

Dean,
Here are the prices from a 2/26/40 Wholesale price list from JD Plow Co. St. 
Louis:
No. 133 (4 speed) equipped with 5:00-15 4 ply fronts and pressed steel rears 
with 8x38 4 ply rears - retail $802, Dealer $641
Same tractor with 8x38 cast rear wheels $812/$649.

Starting and lighting equipment factory installed $69/$55.20, and 
field-installed $75/$60, and both systems were priced without a battery 
which was to be obtained locally.

The 1939 (11/1/38) price list does not provide prices for starting and 
lighting.

The 1941 (9/17/40) price list for the increased horsepower, 6 speed B with 
the same pressed steel equipment is $828.50/$662.50 and for cast wheels 
$843.50/674.50.  Apparently there was no price change for electric 
starting/lighting.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Duane Larson
