did the military ever use farm tractors.... got asked that at a tractor show the other day and I have a 8N ford........ can't seem to find anything on a web search but you never know..... would feel better if I could paint everything on my place OD..... I remember one at a show that was armored... but maybe there were more used.... there are a lot of support vehicles and equipment not talked about much.....

My Dad was in the 3rd Attack/Bomb Group in the Southwest Pacific. Shipped out to Australia and New Guinea in Jaunary 1942 and returned in 1945.
In the background of one of the photos my family has of one of the airfields is a Farmall farm tractor. I remember asking my Dad about it and he said that they used it to pull stuff around.
That was all I got out of him on that - he would rarely talk about his time overseas.

In WW2 John Deere built a couple armored Model A's and submitted them for testing by the Military. They had two machine guns mounted on them . They failed the test and were not built. The main failure was the guns field of fire could take out the tractors rear tires. There are articles in Two Cylinder magizen and pictures.
