 Topic: D17 aluminum hood panel?
Posted: 03 May 2025 at 5:40am |

Hudco's question about chroming the grill on his D17 got me thinking. What did the aluminum hood panels look like when they came from the factory? Were they polished to a mirror finish, or were they dull, with more of a brushed finish?

Are you referring to the allis-chalmers nameplate on the hood sides of series 2 D17?

Yes I am referring to the name plate. Couldn't come up with the right name in my original post.
