    great info. tractor is serial number 9 thousand something (cant remember) so it would be earlier 61. that is great literature. i know that sometimes the early publications are not the best indication because they are colorized the easiest way but the postcard seems to be a photo instead.

    i am finishing restoration on the mower deck for my original, and i know that everything on the deck itself and the mounting hardware was originally cadet white. question is were the belt shields/guards on the deck cadet yellow originally? thanks in advance.
