Is that JD the original factor color ? Last summer I was at a tractor show in Eagleville , TN and a fellow had a JD with a color scheme like your only it was orange and white , he said it was factory , he said JD did that one year in production , he named off different colors , i dont remember all that were available but it was to compete with the market of other tractor markers , like Ford , Allis and what ever color at that time. I think his tractor was a 110 also

The JD's were done in three years 69 thru 71, there were 4 colors available in 3 different models. They are called the patio tractors. Colors available were blue, red, orange and yellow and all had the white body. They didn't sell very well so they quit making them. There getting very collectable. :thumbs:

Some are original and some are redone. We live on I think the highest hill in our county, what a view.

We're getting off-topic so I might split this out to the Off brand section.

Here's the write up for JD's Custom Color series (Patio series as it's now called) from wfm.

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
