Bro, sorry I can't come up with a colored pic., and the parts book makes no mention of paint. As a kid I put togeter many of those rakes. Remember having to sort out the strippers, as they were short at the front of the basket frame and got longer at the rear. The 170 rakes were built for a long time, and had many paint colors over their life span. Green frame and parts with Case wheel Yellow, (slime green), comes to mind. The last of the L170's on low rubber were flambeau & desert sunset. I think that somewhere along the way the basket and some other componets were also painted dark red.

I don't know about that slime green color. As you said, it didn't go with anything else, It may have been a color that Grand Detour, EB or Osborne used.
Here is a tidbit from our dealer arcives.
the Herkimer rail yard is the one that did not have a freight depot, just a siding, so unloading rail cars was a chalange. A lot of our NI equipment came in there also.

I must have one of the last 170's made as it is flambeau with desert sunset wheels.. Never been repainted either.
I have one that was in a barn when I got it. I had to put it outside but you can still see the colors and decals. Send me your e-mail and I will send you some pictures. Vaughn [email protected]
