JD Back Hoe

[72 Charger]

Could anyone tell me if the JD Back Hoe was ever painted in the JD green and yellow ?

Thanks

Dave they were mostly painted industrial yellow. Never seen a different color from JD. This is a standard color for industrial equipment from JD along with others.

Try adding the 310 so you do not get the  modern compact tractors.

Thanks guys

Farm equipment was mostly the green and yellow color combo while construction equipment are yellow.

I don't remember seeing a back hoe that wasn't painted yellow. Even the Massey Ferguson that I own is painted yellow.

Highway Yellow would be the standard color on any JD Industrial equipment made after 1954 or so. Prior to that,  JD Industrials were painted orange. From what I understand, an Industrial could be ordered in other colors for an extra cost, and I have seen some later Industrials in orange as well as OSHA Green. Most of those were roadside mowing units, rather than backhoes, though.

Something that might confuse things, though, is that backhoe equipment can be ordered for Agricultural tractors, which would be the traditional Green/Yellow. There are also some Industrial line tractors that differ very little from their Agricultural kin. In the case of the 310, though, it is strictly an Industrial, with no Agricultural equivalent.

Depends on what year Terex. Some years of Terex were a very bright lime green, mostly through the '70s and '80s.
