This was found on the web. I didn't make it. YanmarGirl did on an Anime forum. I love it!

A YanDeere with a bucket!

And this one too is bleeding thru it's old red color in places.

In reality, this YM2500 is a JD850. This is one of only 3 machines that were nearly spot on with only a paint color change.

Now this machine became a YanDeere out of necessity. Why would that be? Early 1977-ish to about 1981-ish, Yanmars were a Tree Frog green color before going apple red. JD green is easy to find in all the farm stores and with the old Yanmar lime green, there shouldn't be any real bleed thru like red would do.

The owner must have gotten a deal on the paint as the rims were painted the same JD green too. The paint job turned out really well.

And this owner is a member of TBN too!

When you have enough paint, do the box blade too. Love it!

Our sub-thread here for Yanmar air cooled engines would be proud to see this one!
Not sure if that is the L100 or L90 engine.

Another old timer YanDeere

Sometimes one may find a half-breed YanDeere

This one is more Yanmar than Deere.
However, it's both Shades of Green. Deere green up front and Yanmar tree frog green in back.

Spotted a YanDeere in Greece the other day.

It wanted really bad to be a real Deere. Even the usual red Yanmar tiller was made JD green!

This YanDeere is a really ODDBALL. I do not believe Yanmar made a Super Forte into a John Deere class of machine with a front grill like this ... And I don't recall any JD compact machines with an exhaust up the center of the hood. Why it's green is anyone's guess.
