thats a john deere patio. it wasone of their models that you could choose the colour it was. the main bosy was white on all og them and just bits and parts here and there where different coloured.

Did you notice the custom name "Jane Deere" on the side. Also I dont think they built a Pink patio tractor.

Nope they didn't make pink ones, orange, blue, yellow, red, I think is all they built them in, some got painted green at the dealers so they would sell, I think the early ones had white engines, and I think they were only available in 110 and 140 models. in 1969, but I'm no JD expert

[Nick 13]

I dont know a thing about JDs but thought the name and color were amusing. :scratchead:

So if you installed an all-weather canopy/sunshade on a patio would it be called a PORCH?

Good camera catch on the Barbie JD, Nick! :hide:

Nope, no pink in the patio series. For those who might care, here's a little write up about the Custom Color Series, that is now known as the Patio Series.

John Deere Custom Color Lawn and Garden Tractors

During the 1969 model year, John Deere introduced the Custom Color series of lawn and garden tractors and attachments. Collectors often referred to this equipment as "Patio Models". In 1969, the models offered in Custom Colors were the 110, 112, and 140. The Model 120 was added to this list the following year in 1970. The marketing group at John Deere Horicon Works felt that not all of their customers wanted a green garden tractor, and so by offering a variety of colors, sales of lawn tractors would increase. These Custom Color lawn and garden tractors were painted entirely in Dogwood White except for the hood and seat. The hood and seat were offered in one of four colors: Patio Red, Sunset Orange, April Yellow, and Spruce Blue. These colors matched those of John Deere

I guess that means a glassed in cab would make it a "Florida room" model?
