D 15 II paint colors/scheme

Dave, check out the D-Series Photo Album on my website.  All of those photos came from original D-Series sales literature.  I find them useful for reference.

Regarding which items were black, things that come to mind are light shells, generator, muffler, and the portion of the air cleaner stack above the hood.  I use AGCO cream on the cream/beige items, including the steering wheel.

That being said, it doesn't take much to find conflicting color schemes, even in the same piece of literature.  Notice the black starter in the D10 III photos.  The D12 III in the plow photo shows an orange starter.  Personally, I am partial to black starters and generators, especially on the late D-Series tractors.  Best of luck.

Dave, drag your mouse pointer over the orange link on Brian's post and click your left button.  You should see an array of pictures Brian has scanned in.  HTH

Dave, original starters and generators were orange because they were painted along with the rest of the tractor.  Peronally, I like doing those in black.  It shows that you put some effort into your work on a restored tractor.
