Hi Grant thanks for your reply it's most welcome, I haven't had any luck finding much archive photos to go on either for decals etc.
 
Cheers on the position of the kill switch, so where does the light switch go then?
 
My tractor serial number is 804546, Yeah the question of what colour to make the decals and wheels has been driving me nuts as I have a book called the "Cockshutt the complete story" compiled by the International Club which states the tractors where shipped as green and red. But I had contacted the International Cockshutt Club to be advised the should be Orange. So you can see why I am getting confused. I forgot to say I did reply to the guy from the International Cockshutt Club regarding the info in the book but so far he has failed to respond.
 
I was convinced I had read somewhere over a year ago that the earlier tractors had a different throttle setup but despite my best efforts to find this on the net or in any of the cockshutt literature I have collected I cannot find any reference to this again so maybe I dreamt that one up.
 
Trying to get some parts has been to bad although I have had to compromise on the originality a bit such as a cross mount 6V cut out instead of a parallel one  the light switch I have ordered well it shouldn't be too bad but the kill switch I am not exactly happy with my choice as I have no idea what I was looking for.
 
I did read a reference on another forum to new repro black face gauges for mid 1940 Oliver's that had been advertised in Oliver Heritage however I have just made a purchase on a set of the American made yellow faced Oliver gauges hopefully they are okay the down side is the length of the capillary tube for the water gauge a massive 6 foot to coil up and hide somewhere. Hopefully the steering wheel I have ordered is a decent quality, do you what colour the cap and bolt should be for the steering wheel?
 
I do have a third party Oliver 80 manual which basically covers the more common later 4 speed models that I got with the tractor but it doesn't have a lot of pics I can gain much info from any pics it does have is outline sketches, it does show the battery position but no details if it was boxed in with tinwork or how it was secured etc.

I did try replying to you by email directly using the email address you provided but got a System Administrator message as a bad email address.
