Deere Picnic Table
Richard Bartmess got a big surprise for his 50th birthday - a "John Deere picnic table" made by his sister Jeanette. The picnic table is painted Deere green and yellow with.a steering wheel and seat on one end and a muffler on the other. It all started when Jeanette made her son a picnic table from a kit. Bartmess joked that he'd like to have one like it, but that it would have to be painted Deere green and yellow. Jeanette's husband Bill salvaged an old implement seat and steering wheel and used a broom handle for the steering column. The seat is supported by a pair of 2 by 4's and can be folded up out of the way for mowing. Bartmess's brother Bob welded a pipe and bracket together to make a fake muffler. His other sister Beverly helped paint the table. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Richard Bartmess, W. SR. 2 7488, LaPorte, IN. 46350 (ph 219 785-2663).
