Seen this on ebay and I almost puked. Why'd they ruin a good machine like that? Well at least on the plus side if someone buys it thinking they are getting a JD 317 they'll be pleasantly suprised at how well it works :) [url][/url]http://cgi.ebay.com/Simplicity-Sunstar-20-horsepower-hydrostatic-drive-lawn_W0QQitemZ7769162607QQcategoryZ66761QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Never could figure it out myself. I guess people want a mower that will cut good and look like a Deere.

I just looked at the Sunstar on ebay myself. I almost lost my cookies. Sad thing is I have been looking for a Sunstar to buy for 2 years now and the guy lives 15 minutes from me. I'm thinking of looking at it in person to see if it's worth what he is asking.

The guy probably lives in an area that is predominately JD and he didn't want to be hasseled by the neighborhood gang because he wanted a different brand of tractor (smart guy) so he painted it the "other color". Look's like it wouldn't take much to bring it back to the original colors.

NO he lives in Simplicity country. Maybe it was green to start with, just a different shade?

well john deere lawn tractor plant is about 40 min from this guy, unfortunatley i've been in the john deere plant doing some mechanical work, and before that when i was a truck driver, i had to haul those POS to streator il. there is more orange around here than green. orange is meant to drive on green, if you know what i mean.

I ask him why it was such a UGLY color and he said the previous owner had other JD's and did not want it to clash, I sent back that he could run it for the better cut and get away with it.
