- Man Using a 1939-1946 John Deere Model "B" Series Tractor - Deere & Company released the streamlined Model B, styled by industrial designer, Henry Dreyfuss, in late 1938. Farmers used the four-gear forward tractor to pull a two-bottom plow, cultivate corn or soybeans, power a mounted corn picker, or run a corn sheller off the belt-drive. The rounded hood and grill and more expensive rubber-tire option meant the tractor looked as good as it performed.

- Oliver Plow, 1870-1929 - "Chilled" cast iron was the latest thing in plows in the 1870s, a process perfected by James A. Oliver, of South Bend, Indiana. The chilling process involved cooling the cast iron with water, hardening the metal. It polished like steel, allowing it to pull through the soil easily. A copy of this plow is used at Greenfield Village's Firestone Farm.
