YellowB10 Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 What are any of your thoughts on painting something ORANGE that was originally YELLOW..? or vice verse? Im thinking about changing some implements over...
timflury Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 My opinion..... Implements, fine. Tractor, no. Just my opinion. Some have painted their A/C B series tractors orange to make them look like the full size ones of the same era. I've even seen a green Sunrunner. Just not my cup of tea.
YellowB10 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Thats kinda what i was thinking Tim...possibly gonna paint my orange dump cart yellow...even thought about making 101 into a B10...
brockway Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 I have the same idea Jay,I bought a mid 60's half of it is yellow and the other is orange so I do not know which way to go.It does not have a grill in it so I guess it depends on what I can find for a grill.
hotrodtractor Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Guess I am a naughty boy and broke the rules with my gray simplicity tractor I paint every attachment I have black so that way it looks good ob every machine. :Dcop
mowerman1193 Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I think its ok to change the color of the implements to match whatever tractor your going to use them on. I always hated the look of a orange mower on a yellow A/C or vise-versa.. Just my opinion... Kevin
timflury Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Kevin, At least your tractor is still tasteful. Time and care were spent on that project. I've seen my fair share of not only bad paint jobs, but the poorly trained painter tried to make an orange tractor green.

I've seen them painted like a Mack truck, an Oliver 77, and even in other non stock shades. Whatever floats your boat!
Talntedmrgreen Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 I'm generally of the same camp...Yellow and Orange should stay as is, but attachments are neat to match to a tractor. That being said, my Granfather insisted an Allis is Orange, and when we rebuilt this one from the ground up in '99, orange was the only color he would use. I love it...
