Armament consisted of two caliber 30 machine guns in armored turrets, with a crewman in each turret. Interphones connected the gunners to the driver.
This Model 8010, serial number OW41A, was a prototype used by the John Deere Engineering Research Division to display their brand-new line of New Generation tractors. In fact, this 8010 hauled a gift-wrapped 1010 at the New Generation introduction in Dallas, Texas, in August 1960. The tractor also appeared at farm shows and demonstrations across the United States as well as in advertising photographs.
The prototype was converted for industrial use in 1961, and later worked at the Waterloo factory. Only 100 production Model 8010s were built, and all 8010s except this example were converted to 8020s by Deere & Company.
