Dean.
the stacks were inline front to back, there is mention of disc plowing in a seperate section,
I never plowed with anything but a 3 pt hitch 2 bottom, small acerage compared to most. So most of the early JD stuff is foreign to me!

Bruce,
I don't have the 13th edition to reference here in AZ. But I would guess
the
tractors shown might be unstyled, however in 1939 the A & B were styled. If
the
stacks are in line behind each other then they are styled, if they are side by
side then they are unstyled. There are many more kinds of plows other than
those
listed. For example: Disc plows come to mind. I think all is referenced are
some
of the types of moldboard plows. Other than tag along plows JD started with
semi-integral plows that were underslung under the tractor and connected to the
front frame, then they went to the Yakima hitch in 1947 which was a proprietary
version of a modified three point hitch, then the 800 Series hitches in 1953
and
then the full three point hitches in 1956 on the 20 series of tractors, They
produced 100's of implements that connected to all three hitches.

Thanks Dean,
I would have thought this one was earlier, the tractors listed do look like an
A
or B and an LA (I owned one of those)--the A or B style is shown both with
steel and rubber tired wheels & shown with both wide & narrow front
wheels. It
also has a hand clutch & 2 stacks (1 exhaust & 1 intake).

Someone out there asked about the types of plows.
I just found my grandfather's book on- The Operation, Care and Repair of
Farm
Machinery-
thirteenth edition- published by John Deere=
there is no date of printing, but much of the equipment is horse drawn, the
tractors shown as John Deere's are "the General Purpose Tractor"
to handle a
four-horse load, and a
"Standard type" to handle a two-horse load (looks like an LA).
This book lists 6 plow styles: Prairie breaker, Stubble bottom, General purpose
bottom, Slat moldboard bottom, Black-land bottom, & deep tillage bottom.
