1965 John Deere Kettle?

[THROUGH THE MUD BBQ TEAM]

Owner advertised this as a John Deere BBQ. Claims it was made in 1965. Anyone have any info on these?

It's made by Structo with a handle labeled "John Deere".  Cast aluminum.  Hinged lid.  Multi position charcoal & cook grates.  Single, large damper in bowl & lid.  Has a tiny slip-on ash catcher.  1965 seems plausible, but can't be sure.  I've not been able to find production info on these.  This one has the earlier lid hinge design, which is far superior to later design (IMO). 

Here's mine for reference:

Hope you picked it up. Pretty cool score, especially up here in Canada.

Yup, Structo fo sho. Not surprised Brewtownbeatdown already chimed in lol

Hope you picked that up. It seems to be great condition! Much better than mine was (before Brewtownbeatdown fixed her up nicely)
