420c color opinions

[lowboy]

hello guys
I'm finding all this red paint in places that the DuPount rebuild didn't get to
Dubuque didn't helpWHAT do I do
I'm at the point that I need to start putting paint in the hard to reach spots
so I'm asking y'all's opinion what do I do?
I know that the guy I got it from said his deceased dad has had it for 35 years and that his dad wanted it restored or put to work again.
This also the guy that told me it was rebuilt.
I just want to do what the Old Girl wants
going to let this go for a while Let me know!
Thanks Lowboy

Run a serial number search on the crawler with the Two Cylinder Club and see what comes back. I think they will have the paint color or code on the research sheet. If there is not, and the sheet shows a CJ number, then you have some more thinking to do.

Hello guys
The paint problem maybe solved
As I took some more parts off I found some J.D. green under the red
The person who changed the color did an exellent job
Still waiting on the research sheet that I sent for

Lowboy if you are looking for an excellent degreaser, pick up a product called "Marine Clean" by the makers of POR15. I could not believe how well it removed the grease and buildup with ease. I mixed it five to one with hot water. The best part is that it doesn't leave any residue that has to be removed before painting. Another product that I used after the degreaser was called "Metal Ready". It etches any bare metal and leaves a zinc coating so that your primer sticks real well and it slows rust. Just some great products I found.
