THE ENCLOSED ENGINE THAT OILS ITSELF 
The John Deere farm engine is far ahead of its 
field in design and construction—it places the 
farm engine on a plane with other types of modern 
power machinery. 
Users say, "John Deere is the greatest ad¬ 
vancement ever made in farm engine building." 
It is a fact that no other farm engine has ever 
been designed with so many distinctive advantages 
The complete enclosure of its operating parts 
and its automatic oiling system, while outstand¬ 
ing features, are but two of the many improve¬ 
ments that make it a profitable investment for 
every farmer. 
Take the time to read the following facts about 
this farm engine. You will recognize at once the 
reasons for its great success. 
All Vital Parts Completely Enclosed 
All the important parts—crankshaft bearings, 
connecting rod bearings, cylinder, governor, tim¬ 
ing gears, etc.—are completely protected within 
a dust-proof housing. 
There is no more opportunity for sand and 
other foreign matter to get into the vital parts 
of the John Deere than there is for such particles 
to get into the motor of your car. 
Longer life, less repair expense and better service necessarily result from this advanced design. 
Governor Accurately Controls Speed 
The John Deere operates on the hit-and-miss principle. By merely turning a hand nut located on the outside 
of crank case, the speed of the engine can be varied from one-half normal speed to ten per cent above normal speed 
without stopping engine. The vital parts of the governor and the hook-up mechanism are hardened to resist wear. 
The governor is entirely enclosed within the dust-proof case and operates in a bath of oil. 
Engine Operates Without Vibration 
Smoothness of running is a feature that every user appreciates in the John Deere. Because the operating parts 
are carefully balanced, this engine runs without vibration at any speed.
