Tomorrow I am going to look at what is supposed to be a John Deere mini from the 70's. Are there any identifying marks I can check to make sure it's not just an old mini someone painted green and yellow? Are people loosing intrest in old minis? About a month ago I picked up a Bonanza 400 mini chopper in original cond minus motor for free just to get it out of his garage. Within the last 2 days a guy called and offered a speed way scarab complete for $175 And now a a running deere for $100. I am going to pass on the scarab if anyone is interested I will forward his ph #
