I know this isn't John Deere but I think most will enjoy.

Wow that is an interesting piece of machinery.I was waiting to see if it would float or how well on water it would go.It would probably make for a wet ride though.

I think there might actually be one of these at a museum NW of me a couple hundred miles. I know I have seen pics of an assembled one, but can't remember where it was for sure.

I think I saw one at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Canada.
It was restored but a static display at the time.

That is ungodly cool.

What would it take to retrofit a 420 like that? Not much, I bet. Some long fuel tanks and trick welding, steel channel mounts and sprockets attached to the PTO shaft. Not sure how the steering deal works.
