   All the earlier D graders that I have seen were orange. My 59 is orange but there is yellow below that appears to be primer. 
   
  I don't know when the WD45's came out but farm group would know.

   A '51 would have same motor as a WD.  You can replace it with a WD, WD-45, WD-45 diesel, D17, or D17 Diesel. All bolt right up...

   The diesels need the frame extended and the rad moved as well.
