What idiot did this???

who ever did should be beaten in the head with a hammer

Like the old man used to say,"get your foot of the clutch boy "!!!

I bet I dont even run now.

Seen a kabota painted just like it the other day on craigs list. I would have bought it for it sold for 400 dollars. For that price I could have painted it. I don't think the ol boy that painted the allis knows how much he depreciated the value.

At least they didn't paint it red and gray and paint massey on it!

In the 1960's and 70's our local JD dealer had an A-C B series garden tractor painted green and yellow and used it to mow the lawn at the dealer because JD didn't have scrunt for a mower them days.  As for a matter of fact I am not impressed yet by them.  I will stick to the 1974 716H and the 1976 712H.

I saw that earlier this week on EB, did they butcher the front grille or did AC change them on the late models? looks like an '82

I wouldn't be scared of it and would love to have it if it was cheap but it's over 1,500 miles from me and my wife might have conniptions if I buy one more thing this year. 

Many years ago, I think in the 60's, John Deere came up with the idea that you could buy a car in many different colors. So they started putting out JD lawn mowers in different colors. Didn't seem to last long.

Seems like it runs OK. Sounds a little ragged because those little Toyoshia engines(or whoever made them) are 2 cylinders. A lot smoother than the Yanmar 2 cylinders, though. Don't know why someone wanted to paint it all green like that. I always figured the reason JD came up with the green tractor/yellow rims paint scheme was so they wouldn't be such an eyesore for the neighbors when they were sitting outside broke down in the bushes, but would be easy enough to see the rims and not run over them while bush hogging. 

Got a message back from the sellers;
Dear bcfmfarmer,

I guess since it is $ 1035.10 right now - then for $ 1035.11 - you can paint it any color you want.

Thanks for your question.

early/mid seventies, the patio series. JD trying to sell to "suburbia" that did not want a tractor in town. I know dealers that repainted many white ones green just to sell them. Today they are extremely collectible.
    I gave my brother the idea to paint some of his 7520's in the 4 color's, one set on a oak plaque sold for 6,000. He's done 6030's also.

Makes me puke!!!!

I see the auction ended without it reaching the reserve.  Wonder what it was?  I think they would have done better with it painted the correct color.  It will probably be back in the auction sometime.
