Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. reports that a John Deere tractor regularly used by Elvis on his Mississippi ranch and at his home at Graceland has been fully restored and is on public display at the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum at Graceland in Memphis.

The restoration is a cooperative effort between Elvis Presley Enterprises and Deere & Co. Students at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia, Miss., restored the tractor with guidance from Deere.

Elvis acquired his John Deere 4010 tractor with the purchase of a Mississippi ranch in 1966. It later was used at Graceland, which replaced the tractor recently with a new model and decided to prepare the old tractor for display.

In celebration of this new exhibit, a special edition, die-cast version of the tractor will go on sale in November at authorized John Deere dealers nationwide.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
