Well I hope it is a deere cart.... Its say "A" on the sides!
I've tried to find some pics on here with this cart and I cant.
Anyone seen this cart before? If so any thoughts on age or year.
I see red paint under the green, so I question if its a deere cart?
I hope it is......
Watch ya guys think?

Never can tell if it is a true Deere cart, but the red may be primer.

Not sure if red primer was ever used. With that said back in the day red lead paint was used in many applications and is very resistant to corrosion. it is not legal to use now.

True !! but I have restored my Model #80 and #50 of the 80's ( looks like this only stronger, why I think this is NOT JD) and no red primer. but the john deere decal looks legit

Model #50 ( note tip mechanism )

Similar to the John Deere 50 Cart but not a John Deere cart. Still it will make a nice cart just the same !!

wheels on the #50 are completely under the cart. the ones on the OP's cart are to the side

No it doesn't!!! Look at the angled front corner or as I pointed out the tip mechanism etc.
