Mike Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 When I bought my red B, it had a black air cleaner dome on the red air cleaner. It had black straps and black mounting bracket. My question is, did all of these tractors in 62 have the same color combinations for the above hardware? Why I ask is, I would like to change the colors to a red dome with red air cleaner and mounting with chrome the straps. What are your thoughts?mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34492-my-1962-b-model-tractor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 MikeI think the combo would look good, I think it would tie in with the rest of the trucks shiny parts with out being overwhelming and stick out Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

41chevy Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 My 1961 is body color- green and Burly Horans 1962 B61 in body color also. I personally like the idea of a corresponding color on the hat and brackets . . .eye candy.

Mike Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 It just seems like it could use a small amount of chrome. But will be glad to keep it original if I only knew if it were original. Thanks for the comments guys.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34492-my-1962-b-model-tractor/#findComment-229946 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 by late 61, early 62 they changed the color combos to make things simpler. the frames, bumpers, cow catchers and fuel tanks were all black, everything else was body color. this is also the time the Delbar style mirror brackets came standard with the Mack bubble back mirror head and the signal lights came on the pedestals. any other color combos were options tho.

Freightrain Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Matt Pfhal has the chrome extension to raise the hat up. It comes with the smaller hat. I like my big hat, so used it instead. The big hat, mounted on the cleaner would get whacked by the vent window if you opened the door with the vent swung open. My hat had a large dent in the rim from 40+yrs. I got it straightened and reinstalled.If someone needs a new small hat, I have one available. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Vladislav Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Larry, do you have that small hat chrome plated and usable for a R-model?
