DC decal question

casered · Mar 30, 2017

I have a 52 DC with eagle hitch and hand clutch and dual wheel tricycle front end. I am getting ready to buy decals from Maple
Hunter and they have 3 different sets available for it. All are the same except for the model designation decal. 1 is a DC4
which I don't need because that's not what I have. The other 2 sets are a "DC" set and a "DC3" set. Which is the correct model
decal for on the hood? Thanks for the help fella's.

You want the one that says DC. That covers all DC 3, if it were a DC 4 it would say DC 4 on the side of the hood. D is for standard models.

Maple Hunter has very good Decals. Make sure you order the vinyl set no matter who you get them from or you will be disappointed. We
bought a new DC 3 in 1952. The decal said DC. Never mentioned DC 3 . The Decal set will more then likely come with a couple Old Abe
Decals. They do not go on the tractor. Don't know why they furnish them, but they do.

Technically your tractor is a DC3. A DC3 is either a narrow front or an adjustable wide front axle equipped tractor with 38" rear tires. Either the DC or DC3 decals will work. Don

I use Maple Hunter exclusively for decals on most every tractor I restore or repaint and the only way to go is Vinyl cut. The mylar ones are ok for work tractors or for the people that aren't super fussy.

Thanks for the heads up on the old abe decal. I probably would have put it on near the tank like my 36 RC.

I, to have wondered why Maple-Hunter sent the Old Abe decals in the DC & SC sets as they were not used on those models.
Dad had two 1950 DC s , Dual , narrow front end style, new from the factory and they did not have any " DC " decals on them.Those decals came latter, but not sure when.
A question about decals on a 'D " Case. Did they have black stripes on the fenders ? Hope someone can help me out on that. Thanks, clint
