Design for a John Deere tractor, a vehicle intended for agricultural, farming, or construction purposes. The design is green and yellow and is facing left to highlight front and side screens. Features yellow and black tires, a yellow seat, a yellow horizontal strip across the side with the words "JOHN DEERE" in green, and the green and yellow leaping deer company logo on the front. The number "840" appears in green on the side against a yellow background. A sketch in graphite of two parts, perhaps relating to the front of the tractor, appears in the lower center.
