For 1957, John Deere introduced a new industrial tractor.
Designated the ''420'' I and dubbed the ''Special Utility'',
it had a rugged new front axle, a longer wheelbase, and
a wider range of wheel treads than the ''Utility'' model that
preceded it. However, the price was higher than that of the 
''420'' U, and most buyers opred for the less expensive 
tractor. Consequently, only 255 of the ''420'' I tractors were
built; about half of them in regular John Deere agricultural 
green and yellow, and the rest in industrial yellow. Industrial
yellow was selected fot the toy version, as it seems to carry
through better with the industrial tractor theme.
