Unless it's the lighting, it looks a tad dark for JD green. Although, a John Deere green Rick would look OK with my little tractor:

...Except that he's sanded off the binding and rounded the edges off "a lá McCartney". So it'd be a fake S.beatlefreak wrote:Doesn't look like anything that couldn't be changed back to stock without too much trouble.
