Hey John,
It is good to hear from you!!! Yes, I believe that. I have no idea how many were repainted. What I was trying to make a point of is in those days, and even today, most users of ag or ind. equiptment don't really care what color parts are, just so long as they work, or course the salvage yards don't care either, so long as they make a buck. We are a special breed, we like to keep them right, or make them right, originality is important to folks like us. Somewhere I think I still might have tin that I replaced from a HG, it was for some model of Allis, it fit pretty good. I figure someone found it cheap, and needed to cover the radiator and engine, so, it got bolted up. Occasionally I find other make due examples.

Have a great day!!!

Andy
