Nice collection. I restored this one a few years back after my grandfather passed away. My grandfather had bought it new for my uncle sometime around 1959+/-. According to my uncle he had wore out more than one set of tires on it back in the day. I remember this tractor being in the shed the whole time I was growing up it was wore out and not operational. When I was about five in 1974 I had a blue Ford peddle tractor with a trailer. Loved that thing and it made me pretty good at backing up trailers even to this day. Anyways it was surprisingly easy to round up replacement parts to get the old John Deere back in shape. All you need is a good body that is about the only part not reproduced.
