I have this idea for my 244

[pinguin]

I want to put an 850R spoiler on my 87 244, paint it John Deere green, paint the belt line trim John Deere yellow, and run JD yellow 15" 740 steelies with chrome 240 centercaps.

Thoughts?

Anybody brave enough to shop that up on a 244?

You should stop smoking.

eh just another wisconite and their green and gold fetish

Funny enough, I was born in MN, and am a vikes fan. I just come from a JD family.

[F13ND]

GREEN for the MONEY
GOLD for the HONEYS

[Mueller]

if ever there was a legit reason to give someone a blanket party, this would be it !!!!

[pinguin]

You know, the car probably will be JD Green next spring, the yellow wheels and trim I'm thinking are too much though.

I just like that shade of green

Yeah, you're right, it doesn't look too good.

go for it. i dont see why not if you get the actuall john deere green and put the john deere decals on the back.
i knew a guy who painted his 142 ferguson red and put ferguson badges on it (scandinavian tractor brand)

ferguson? is that the same as a massey/ferguson?

[amargill19?]

could you imagine a 240 painted like a black tophat with a white stripe?

it could totally look like a tophat...

[Dauntless]

Ferguson and Massey-Harris merged in the 50s(?) to create Massey Ferguson. The original Fergusons were grey. And Ferguson is from England, not Scandinavia!

[amargill19?]

^they probably leak oil and have electric fires then, right?

[Dauntless]

Surprisingly, not really.

[amargill19?]

they're probably not british then.

@13 sec.

the nl one was the only one that played video as well as audio

i have always loved that 940

[Dauntless]

They definitely are. They are just so old that Lucas were still making acceptable quality electrics back then :-P

Ok, even with that nasty green, I'm frigging sold. Gotta be for real jd green though. Thinking of getting jd decals, but with moose antlers for the front fenders

[Nils]

english? didnt know that....guess thats -1 for me then :-P

If you do this you're gonna get hated on by about 90% of the forum.
Its a volvo, not a tractor. Green and yellow have never looked good next to eachother.

my father would beg to differ. he constantly bickers about my constant feeling of "volvo love" and calls the 242 "the tractor." its def faster than a tractor though! :-P

Well actually, it's got DJauto ecodes now, but other than that, that's how it looks.

[pinguin]

pinguin. your paint schemes strategically cover stripped paint until the little bit of rocker panel rust can be fixed, and the car can get painted one color

fixed

[FuzzyPlushroom]

I still like the blue and yellow. Don't care if I'm the only one, haha.

As for the John Deere look, well, if it sounds like a tractor, and it's square like a tractor...

[Devsbeater]

If you did a good job of it and made it low and fast at the same time, that would be good.

[CFL940]

yeaaaa.. that works. So if your transform your 240 into a hot brazilian chick.. then it'll be all good.

[volvo245kit]

Hey, the worst that could happen is you don't like the car and then all you have to do is park it alongside a road in Green Bay with a for sale sign in it and, boom, you sell it for twice the book value. I knew a guy once who couldn't sell his old Suburban down in Tennessee and then he painted it Volunteer orange and it sold in a day. True story!

OH SNAP!:wtf:

you're that guy?

I had no idea. Go for it, it would probably be an improvement. :-D

[pinguin]

I think I'll go for it. I know I'll like the green, worst that can happen is I won't like having the yellow, and I can black the trim and wheels.

[harribert]

http://i.imagehost.org/0509/calif.jpg

less rake and i'm sold
also, try a chullo instead of a sombrero :oogle:

[mrvolvo75]

A guy out here (Ithaca) already John Deere'd a 240- he sold it to some John Deere nut for more than he paid- sorry I don't have a pic.

I don't think a chullo can fit on a 240s head...otherwise I would.

[amerbritcan]

I know of a 144 that's john deere green with yellow steelies and it looks great...I think you should keep the yellow and spoiler you have, just aint the blue part john deere green and get steelies (or just those alloys) the exact same yellow as your stripe

[pinguin]

Those are right up there with the '80s novas

Why? Looking for one?

This thread is the most epic - I can't stop laughing - Awesome -
I would totally get the horns for the hood. You can get a set of truck nuts for the rear end to complete the "Deere" look - lol

[Vee_Que]

^they probably leak oil and have electric fires then, right?
Yes, all old tractors leak oil. Even new ones. Same with most diesel motors though.

They definitely are. They are just so old that Lucas were still making acceptable quality electrics back then :-P
No such thing!
