I'm fairly familiar with some of the more unique and desireable JD models.

I hadn't seen one like this. Is it anything special? Should I be getting a deal made tonight?

Looks like a different make with Deere stickers on it.

Looks like an MTD made tractor. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks a lot like one. Generic type 80s rider.

I hadn't looked at all the pictures when I made this post from my phone. If I had I may have been more suspicious when I noticed the obviously newer repower.

Nothing to see here. Carry on. Sorry to waste your time.

Thanks for the replies!

Pretty sure it is a John Deere wanna be tractor. Not worth much in my opinion.

I love the pull starter on the dash board!

And if I didn't know any better, I'd say the clutch is on the wrong side. Must be a European model :hide:

looks like an engine from an RER

I had one of those about a year ago. Looked a little different though.

Cool, it looks like a shrunken 960! A rebadged Lawn Flite, of all things. Probably worth more in original condition than painted in JD green.

It was actually kind of a neat little tractor....definitely not a high end machine tho. All of the bushings in the steering column were toast and the linkage completely worn out. 1st. gear was for mowing, 2nd. gear was for transport and 3rd. gear was for the interstate. It was easy to see everything was original on it but the top speed was at least twice what my 312 moves. t was downright frightening with the steering the way it was. It did give a surprisingly nice cut in low gear though.

Now I want to find one of those just to put it in third and see what happens. Sounds like a blast if you fix the steering up.
