B-1 Color? (Not a paint question)

Recommended Posts

After seeing MDB photos of his B-1 restoration, I was thinking of my B-1. What is the actual color of the B-1? Were they produced in two different colors? Couldn't find anything in a search, but all the photos of B-1's show the tractor as yellow. Mine is more of a light "butterscotch" color. It was repainted at one time, but the original(?) paint that shows up where the repaint has peeled, is also a butterscotch color, though a different shade than the repaint. Anyone know the story here? Pat

I know what you mean, my B1 is also more of the butterscotch color than yellow it`s still the original paint the deck is the same shade.

Pat, John, I know what you mean, my B1 was also more of a "butterscotch" color, I think part of it is paint fade. The reason I painted mine the color I did is because I only want one shade of yellow paint to deal with. With a B1, late B10, and B110 plus any future aquasitions...;):D I chose to use the same color that I painted my Late B10 with, that way just one shade of yellow to keep on hand...:D8D

Butterscotch sounds about right. Mine is that color although the spots not exposed to sunlight are brighter than the rest of it which is faded. The B-1 color is my favorite.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
