Woo Jeff, you've been busy! That's a funky camo scheme. Never seen a green like that, is that an actual camo scheme used at some time or something they just did?

Looks like a variation of the MERDC camouflage scheme.

I think the camo was redone in a boy scout, cub scout, girl scout, or grade school class type project with donated paint. Which is normal with small towns. The green base coat is a closer match to farm equipment. The other colors semmed to be more like house paint. None of the tan, sand and black made it to the lower hull, wheels or suspension.

Almost looks like they tried to recreate a Korean camo

Wow! That ain't walk-around pics, those are crawl-under, walk-around, climb-on-top pics! I nominate that tank for Most Photographed Tank on the Internet.

Great pics, thanks for posting these.

Those are cool pictures. Even if the camo isn't right, the rust all over and especially under gives some great references. Thanks for sharing.

You don't mean...John Deere Green do you???

That would be a great subject for our Gate Guard Campaign if we ever get to it. Just as is.
