Dad's is green (close to Oliver) with red or orange wheels and yellow letering(I mean lettering). I don't have a pick.

Our barge box was originally painted dark green on the wood and wheels. The gear, hubs, lug bolts, and metal hardware on the box was red. We redid it with Oliver green and IH red. As close to original as you will probably get. ------------- Randy Freshour,Member Indiana AC Partners, http://www.rumelyallis.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.rumelyallis.com |

| 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 - 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 don't know if these colors are accurate, but the wagon was beautifully done.

GBACBFan: 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. |
