Listed on the build card as a Golden Demo Tractor. Weren't they listed as a Black Knight on the build card? Maybe it it's a Golden, with a bit added paint....? Don't know what to think?? Either way , I like it Don L. [Reply]   [No Email]

Also all of the golden demo's I know of have the rear wheel lugs painted silver to match the rims. Some have cast grills but not all. The lower side panel by the platform on your tractor should have been desert sunset along with the fenders. Nice find! Brian [Reply]  [No Email]

The hand hold in the fender is from the cab. I figured you'd have that all done up by now. [Reply]  [No Email]

Maybe 1 time in 100 do I use them, and when I do, I trip over my feet as it isn't the trained natural motion of using the left side steps. [Reply]  [No Email]

Glad you mentioned BK, I have not yet found where CASE calls these tractors BK's. I'm beginning to wonder if someone used that as a nick name and it just stuck. We all know if you mention Black Night to tractor people they know what you are reffering to, but mention Golden Opportunity Demo's and they might say Huh. Just my thoughts, Rod. [Reply]  [No Email]

The fender stripes are incorrect, the steps are incorrect, (perhaps from a removed after market cab, and the grab handles in the fender light sockets are interesting. Looks like with a little work, it will be a beauty again. I also noticed that it had the optional "bucket seat". Loren [Reply]  [No Email]

Steps are like for a aftermarket cab, nasty narrow. States a Bucket Seat on card. Don't know what to think about the grab socket, I am glad it's there though, handy. Don L. [Reply]  [No Email]

A standard set of factory steps for a non cab, should not be that hard to find. They also made steps for the RH side (parts item) on non cabs. I see that the Case grab handle is on the cowel. I think the fenders had holes for the same handles, with plastic plugs in them Loren [Reply]  [No Email]
