John Deere USA 1/4" drive socket set
« on: July 24, 2018, 04:01:05 PM »
I wonder how many John Deere USA tools are out there in the wild.  Looking on e-bay much of it is China.  At a recent auction I looked in a box that said 1/4 inch sockets.  The box held about 50 items and much of it was China.  However I quickly noticed the John Deere ratchet and looked more closely.  In the picture the box is mine, but the entire contents of John Deere USA was in that auction box which I bought for $7.00.  I know it is not complete, but it is a good start.  Also in the box were two 1/4" breaker bars, a Craftsman BE and a Powr Kraft.

Hello, Coolford. Nice find on the John Deere Set!!!! I have seen the 1/2" JD sets, but never a 1/4" Drive. Regards, Lou

At that same auction was a like new 1/2 inch drive Armstrong ratchet that I wanted.  When it came up they put it and a 1 1/4 inch John Deere USA combination wrench together (with the running deere logo).  I got them both for $11.00.  :grin:
