The John Deere Model A was introduced as John Deere's first "row crop" tractor in 1934; its appearance was changed in 1939 with a new "styled" look (basically, grills in front of the radiator and a hood that is shaped to blend into those grills), then revised once again in 1947.

"In 1940, the engine was increased from 309 ci to 321 ci. In 1941, the transmission was changed from four forward speeds to six. There were several variants of the A. The A was the row-crop model. The AR was a standard (or fixed) tread model. The AO was an orchard model, with no exhaust stack and shielded fenders. There was also the AI industrial model, the AN with narrow front, the AW wide front, and the high-crop ANH and AWH. The model A was the first Deere tractor to come from the factory with rubber tires. The "slant dash" A was produced between 1939 and 1947. It was an A with the electric start option; a special hood piece was used to cover the battery. In 1947, the battery was moved under the seat."
