VIDEO | My first John Deere – Norman Gudex, 94, of Campbellsport, WI

Campbellsport, Wi – The 2025 Classic Green Reunion is underway. It is a field of John Deere Green and yellow tractors surrounded by neighbors walking around in bib overalls and reminiscing about their first tractor.
Norman Gudex, 94, grew up in Campbellsport. “I never owned one but my brother had a 1946 B and my other brother had a 1949 B,” he said.

Gravely voiced and leaning on his walker, Gudex remembered driving the tractors before he was drafted into the Army.

 

“They were easy to cultivate with,” he said. “I couldn’t get off of it.”
