kpinnc 15,912 #3 Posted yesterday at 02:10 AM I will never understand the reasoning behind people painting RJs green. I get what the PO was going for, just don't know why. I had a green one myself. Otherwise it was in decent shape. 2 hours ago, Chrishar said: Bought this about three years ago finally got all the parts I needed to put this rj together Looks like it will make a fun project!

John Deere had the patio tractors for a year, They didn't sell that well and a bunch had to be repainted at the dealers to sell. I guess green paint sells? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No other real difference, but they were called "Patio" tractors. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,997 #8 Posted 6 hours ago 11 hours ago, 8ntruck said: Patio tractors? The patio tractor assumed that people bought tractors based on what color they were. As stated by @kpinnc, some were repainted in order for them to sell. They have since become a big JD collector item. One of the hardest things to find for them is the seat. With out the correct color seat it is not a correct patio. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
