As I understand it, the wooden David Bradley flair wagons were painted the dark green that was traditional for grain wagons.  When the steel flair body was introduced, they were painted green for a year or two, and then after that they went to a red color that was similar to Massey Harris red.  Mine is steel, and what's left of the paint is red with white or yellow pinstripes.  BTW, I believe that the all steel flair bodies were built by Horn Mfg for DB.

According to this page:  http://wellssouth.com/blog/?p=207  there were several different versions of the DB flair box.  If yours has steel sides and a wooden floor, then it was likely sold after David Bradley had switched to Electric Wheel Co for their supplier of wagon bodies as detailed in the above link.

i bought this about 15 yrs ago at a auction It has green under frame an la redishish looking top all metal even floor, what throws me is the hubs on wheels this one had hub caps covering centers with the centers being d b on one and willy knight on other two could it be a old car frame undercarriage...... Any body got a pic of just the running gear

You're right, that wagon is flat out gorgeous!  I'm guessing that it has a wooden floor, and by the decals it is a later model.  The running gear is the same as what is under my all steel DB flair wagon, but mine ain't near that shiny ;-)

The wheels are the right color. You can mix 1 part of John Deer yellow and 1 part of John Deer green to get the correct color. I painted my David Bradley frame New Holland red.
