eBay "original paint" JD440IC

Post by Gil » Mon May 06, 2013 5:27 am

A new definition to the phrase "the paint you see is original"!!?? I did not realize that in 1959 the original factory paint scheme for the radiator was black with yellow overspray. Gil

Not very good pics of important parts of the machine.
I think he means is John Deere paint, cuz he says (not original 1959 paint).

Are those 350 front idlers?

440's could have disc idlers, they were an option.

He added the parenthetical comments about the paint after I sent him an email pointing out that it might be misleading. Gil

Now that is a classic, original meaning from Deere!
