John Deere Green
I don't care if you are a John Deere fan or not. This truck is kind of neat. I can't say I would drive it but it's different. I have never seen one with the green and yellow.

I have honestly thought about painting my flatbed with a combination of John Deere green and yellow, just not sure what pattern. I know, I know, Im a redneck.

Looks like a unstyled D to me, a little over 500 cubes out of 2 cylinders.

I like the colors on the truck, but I think they should have painted the roof yellow so it would be like the regular 2 tone paint that was on these trucks. I just think it would look better.

It's a 1930 unstyled D. I went completley through it and painted it myself, it is kind of fun to run around the place, but asphalt is a no no.

Not to offend anyone but sorry guys the yellow/green on the truck in my opinion is ugly. Better than most but ugly. I saw a house in Washington painted the same color, looked pretty bad. The color looks good on tractors but for some reason doesn't transfer well to other vehicles.

Nice looking JD D. I have a restored 1927 model D that my grandfather used to use. You are right about doing some major destruction on hard surfaces. Mine even has extension rims all the way around...
