John Deere owners.last -longer
Once a John Deere owner, always a John Deere owner.
Or so it seems.
Bill Hendrickson, for instance, has been riding his 110
tradorsince 1965. And when he does eventually replace
it, he, like most John Deere tractor owners, will probably,
stay with John Deere.
But that's not surprising when you know how they're
built. Even the smallest John Deere lawn and garden trac-
tors have features like solid steel frames and cast iron ax-
les with heavy duty spindles and bearings. Their depen-
dable 4 cycle engines are enclosed and isolated for a
smoother, quiter ride. And John Deere offers dozens of
durable power -matched attachments including centre
mounted rotary mowers with 38 or 46 inch cutting widths.
John Deere lawn tractors also(have a loyal following.
With several models to choose frOm, you can select mow-
ing width, drive system and power sizes up to 16 h.p.All
feature electric start, smooth 4 cycle engines and efficient
deep tunnel mowers.
In fact, the John Deere 111, our best selling lawn trac-
tor may be the best outfit you can own. Just ask any of
the folks who do.

Like a Deere '\?.
