Racinbob 11,081 #8 Posted December 21, 2013 Careful C-101. John Deere did make a few with a cream 'body' and rims and stuck a few different color hoods on them. They had red, blue and I believe orange. Proof positive that just covering the green and yellow doesn't improve them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,345 #9 Posted December 21, 2013 Yes, those were the "Patio" tractor line. More about them here... http://www.greenmagazine.com/articles.asp?id=15 Thanks for posting the red Deere Tom. We could call him Rudolph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,081 #10 Posted December 21, 2013 That's them JimD. My Dad started out with a 4HP in 1960, he then got a 64, I believe a 704, then, apparently after having a brain fart, he bought a 69 or 70 greenie (110 or 112). It was that style but the typical green even though I told him a red hood would be cool. Two years later he gave up on it due to so many issues and bought a 71 or 72 Raider 12. That thing had to work it's butt off but was still going strong 30 years later. After my Dad passed my nephew used it then ended up selling it We were living down here at that time and my Mom didn't think I would want to bring it down here.

Wheel-N-It 2,969 #13 Posted December 22, 2013 Whoever own that JD should decorate it with some tinsel and candy canes, and stick it out in the front yard as a Christmas decoration! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grnlark 487 #14 Posted December 26, 2013 I'm not a Deere fan, but I have to admit, the Patio tractors are pretty cool - especially if you have one of each color in a lineup. And they are not cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
