Fun Deere Hunt Today

I got distracted again from my 420 project this morning when I worked a deal on two pairs of John Deere 50 lbs Cast iron weights in trade for my 75 lbs John Deere Plastic/Concrete wheel weights and some cash. A surprise about the weights though once I got there, is one pair was the standard yellow while the second pair are off a John Deere 140 Patio edition and you can see the White Patio paint on them. Oh well I thought that was neat.

While I was there at the sellers house and after finishing loading the weights, I looked up on the hill and noticed something I have never actually seen in person, an 80 Cart. I asked him about it and if I could go look at it, and he said sure. So we walked up and it is so original and unmolested I couldn't believe it. There is surface rust and peeling paint, but the tailgate is awesome and it still has a working tailgate latch and tilt arm, plus the original oldschool Carlise tires. It is a foil tag model. So anyway, I asked if he would sell it and he threw me a price I couldn't turn down, however I didn't have enough cash on me to close the deal and felt stupid. Because it was a long drive he said give me the rest of your cash and mail me a check for the balance. I couldn't believe it, talk about trusting. The seller was so nice and cool to talk to.

Anyway, here are some pictures as usual.
