Those white hats never made the trip to Rock Island. But the RED POWER decals sure had an interesting history. Think there was supposed to be 4000 Red Power Special tractors built. My Boss told the girl who bought decals to get 10,000 decals. About a quarter way into the build they almost ran out of decals. Another 10,000 were rushed in. That time they made it just over half way thru the build and I think they got something like 8000 more when they needed less than 4000. At about the 3/4 point of production they got low again, and got a final 5000-6000 in and hide them up in the office. A supervisor had to come up to our office area every morning to get a day's supply of decals.
Every fork truck in the plant had red power decals on it, the broach that broached the splines in all the transmission gears had six stations, and every station had a red power decal, even seen trailers like the ones used to haul cabs from East Moline had decals on them. I even know a couple ended up on the inside of home workshop doors, but not until the whole build was complete.
Two of the circular Red Power decals, one on each side... And two Branding Iron decals, one for each side were used.
I had the same problem with my tires. All the tire room cared about was size and ply, brand was a distant secondary requirement only when it involved a brand preference order or a pair of mounted duals. The TACO TRACTORS were supposed to have all Good Year tires, so the tire room used Only GY tires of that size on EVERYTHING! GY couldn't make that many tires for Me and Allis Chalmers that used only GY, and anyone else like Massey Ferguson or White.
I had a "SPECIAL" pair of 18.4x38 8 ply tires shipped in from Europe from Good Year for a "SPECIAL" export tractor shipping to Europe. They looked like BFG radials. We even had a SPECIAL part number for them to keep then separate, and hopefully hidden until needed them!
