Thanks Kevin,  It is all original red... don't ask me why! It came from northern Maine and the fellow was a former Cockshutt dealer...could it have be that it is painted Cockshutt red? I can only guess. It runs well tho', but needs weight on the front end to make it more effective when pulling logs. the upside is that it won't be overloaded... that's why I haven't been too quick to load it up with weight.
     I saw you have added pictures also... they look good! I like the lineup with the "little Ollie" on the end!
  now that Chris has pointed me in the right direction, perhaps i will find time to add additional pictures!
