I had stopped by a neighbor's house in town last fall and inquired about a 110 round fender I saw sitting outside for awhile. She said she was interested in selling it and then called back saying she changed her mind. Well...Sunday I got another call. She wanted to sell it! Monday the deal was struck and I pulled it up on my trailer Tuesday and brought it the entire 3 blocks home. Best part of it is that I saw some more green in the garden shed. She said it will with the mower but she didn't know what it was. To my delight it was a front mount PTO. I let her know what it was and it came home with me also. A good, good day. Now I need to plan on where to store all this stuff and still get a car in the garage. I'll get some pics uploaded when I get to a high speed connection.

glad ya found what you were lookin for, congrats!! and in such nice shape too

Congrats on your find It looks like you have a very nice, original condition John Deere to play with. With the 4 speed tranny it should be a 1965 or later model. I can't remember if they made them in 1968 or if that was the change over year to the one piece fender/deck style. Great find on the front PTO, that could bring $200-$300 alone. You done good!

[jdslednut]

It is a '67. I'm toying whether to restore it or just leave it original and play with it. :confuse:They sure look nice all painted up but it's in pretty good original condition too. Maybe I should have a poll?

[dstaggs]

clean it and quit, then send it to me it would look good in my yard. Great find Congrats.

[tractormike]

My opinion for what's it worth is to leave it as is. First off, it is in very nice shape for a tractor 33 years old, they are only original once! Second, You can put a lot of time and effort into a new paint job and it will look some better but not a lot better than it does right now with a coat of wax on it. The hood doesn't even look to beat up in the front where lots of them are missing a piece or two.

Nice find on the RF and front mount PTO. Looks to be in really nice condition. If it was mine I would clean it up and leave it as is. 67 was the last year for the RF also was the only year that they welded on the foot rest.

[jdslednut]

Thank you. I do think I'll clean it up and leave it alone for awhile. It's a couple of restos down the list anyway. I have a couple of other tractors that I have no question about.
