Johnny Popper


Everyone knows Mason is very passionate about combines and tractors. This past weekend, he got his first ride on a real "Johnny Popper." He learned this term from his All About John Deere movie.


Jim's dad bought this 1940 Model B when Jim was 4 years old. He paid about $500 for it. It was used by a John Deere dealer in Oakley, Kansas, as a demonstrator for several years, then sold at an estate sale. It sat in a pasture for 30 years before Jim was able to buy it back 7 years ago. He spent 6 years restoring it and plans to drive it in area parades.
