Wow, imagine a helmet without deteriorating crud on the inside.
Very nice!

Re: New Deere snowmobile helmets
I received my yellow John Deere helmet today from ddub. It is really nice to have an old style helmet with new padding inside. He does really nice work with the graphics. I think that, for a specialized helmet, his prices are very very reasonable. As for the black Liquifire helmet that I was originally working on, I ordered a black helmet on Ebay and took it to my local graphics shop, mainly because I wanted some specific things done on it and I have had him do some custom items before with good results. I will post pics of it when it is done. Jeff

Re: New Deere snowmobile helmets
I have also been looking for a reasonable price vintage style full face helmet and found these http://www.biltwellinc.com/index.php?l= ... _list&c=84 . Sadly no yellow but I think the gloss black with some vintage style graphics would look good. I don't think this one would look out of place on a fire series http://www.biltwellinc.com/index.php?l= ... tail&p=354 .

That second one is only a green stripe or so away from being dead on.
Re: New Deere snowmobile helmets
That is the first full face that I have seen that looked somewhat vintage. I have had some call for them. I will look into these.

Where you at on this?
The black helmet would look great with JDX graphics!

Sorry hadn't checked in for a bit.
Currently the one above is the only JD helmet that I offer. Can you show me a picture of a JDX helmet?
As for the "Nothing Runs Like a Deere" helmet. I pretty much put that on the back burner. I like the Bitwell helmet for a full face and it looks vintage but it is the only one that I have found. None of my suppliers carry it, so the price would just get out of hand until I find a better source. Also those graphics, probably will not happen without some major revamping to make them a little more user friendly.

Re: New Deere snowmobile helmets
I was just thinking the Biltwell helmet would look good with a small JDX script and leaping deer logo, horizontally on the sides.
