Sitting in front of this screen so much lately, I've seen two tractors. An IH in a rural scene in a Pink Panther movie, and just now, a whole Lassie episode made around a new Case tractor.
 

John Deere730 standard in Superman .
430 in a Marvel movie when they were hiding at the Archery Dude's farm.
SmallVille had a JD 40 in a barn.
Twister had some IH's .
 
Watched a December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor documentary made for the War Department, today. I caught a 9-N pulling some equipment on an airfield.
 
Bridges of Madison County had a couple of Deeres. The plowing bee on Green acres had a lot of Fords...

1 of ma n pa kettle had a MT john deere plowing in front of house.he hooked a buried oil pipeline,thought he was gonna be rich when oil gushed out
 
On Second Hand Lions, there was a Farmall parked at the feed store.

Ahead of it's time, it had a bright shinny alternator on it in 1962!
 
The Real Mcoys had a Ford numbered series tractor in it.I just saw it with a good shot of the emblem on the
front,and now can't remember what it was.i want to say it was a 600.There was also a steel wheel tractor in the
show,but only remember seeing it sitting around.
 
Green acres was heavy in Ford. all tractors but the John Deere in a few episodes were fords. Mr. Douglas' Lincoln, to the extension Agents bronco. not sure about Mr. Hainy's truck.

Always interesting to see who sponsored which shows. Beverly Hillbillies was all Chrysler, Plymouth and Dodge and some real classics now. Hazel was a Ford show too. Brady bunch was mostly Chrysler but seems like they had some that weren't. Bewiched was all Chevy and Darin drove some nice camaro convertibles.

Matlock i think was all Ford (Andy Griffith) ?? Charlies Angles was all Ford James Bond movies that took place here were either all Ford (diamonds are forever) or all Chevy (Live and let die).

Seems like uncle Jessie on Dukes of Hazard had an old 2cylinder JD in one episode.
 
Yeah' I remember that alternator blooper-I spotted it immediately, and rewound the video to see it again! Mark.
 
In one of the scenes in 'Stand By Me' there was a quick view of an Avery A (or a General GG) in the background.
 
Wasn't there a 2+2 near the end of Airplane? Maybe a 1586 in Days of Thunder. A Thousand Acres had some tractors in it. The Man in the Moon had an H or M in it. Pretty sure there was a couple tractors in Country also.
 
In the movie In the Heat of the Night the mayor was an IH dealer. Several scenes there and some equipment. Interesting shot of an 806 with white wheels. Of course, there had to be a mechanic using a torch to make sparks for no apparent reason...
