SELLING John Deere 50v

[jacktheripper]

I have a very clean little John Deere Echo 50v for sale. Fires up, runs, idles, etc just fine. Looks great, all stickers are present. Asking $250 shipped. Possible trade for old Pioneer/Poulans from p38 through pp655

I'm curious--did Echo repaint a side cover black or did someone do that after the fact and install a proper decal?

This whole saw was obviously originally painted in orange after closer inspection. Then the JD colors were sprayed over in the factory. I’ve seen a number of others like it, with the orange showing through. The side cover is supposed to be black along with the yellow from the factory though.

The paint color/scheme is correct. That is how manufacturing worked back then and sill today to a point. When Tenneco (Case) bought IH in late 1984 they started painting the white (cream) Case tractors red when they came down the line. If you look at the early Case-IH ones you will see the red was sprayed right over white (cream)

We sold Big Dog mowers before switching to Hustlers. Most of the time they had red paint sprayed over primer but sometimes it was obviously sprayed over yellow Hustler paint.
