You're right Zippy, but this one is an auction. The starting price was $495 and it's been bid up from there. Someone is actually going to pay that price! Wow.

Note to self, go and pick up some yellow paint and a JD hood, get rick quick. :biggrin2:

JD = Just Dollars... People spend thousands on a bottle of wine just to pisz it out... At least he will be able to look at the hood for a bit longer...

Would I do it...??? HeLLL no.... buy a lot on nice cigars for that money!

You guys are aware that this hood is yellow metallic and it's for a patio Deere right? I'm sure if cub had done custom colors and someone had a NOS hood that it would be bid up like crazy as well.

What is a "patio" Deere?

sorta like patio furniture

Other than the color, isn't this hood like all the other fiberglass Deere hoods? I thought the only thing special on the Patios was the paint scheme and seat color? They are pretty cool looking machines. Just recently saw one on CL near here, never got to see a real one in person though.

They are usually quite prominent at the Tri-State Small Engine Show in Portland, Indiana in August. Sometimes you will see them for sale or their parts for sale. I always thought they were Jane Deere's, but now I know better. The seats usually have pricey tags on them when I see them for sale. They do not appear to be very rare to me, but I do not know much about the JD line.
