Wow! I didn't get a John Deere until about 15 years ago, and thought that was something special (J.D 850).
Before that I had a Farmall Cub, and was looking for it in your photo, bonehead! And yep, mine was a hand-crank on the front but also had an electric start, old 6 volt system. We called it the red lobster cus the head lamps on the front stuck out from the sides of the front, like lobster eyes (or crab eyes). I really like how the seat was off-set, too. I sure would like to have it now, except it got to the point where I'd have to work on it for an hour just to use it for 20 minutes. Where was the patience then that I have now?
Next time you go there, bonehead, put yourself in the seat of one and send us all a pic!
