IHC tractor rear light paint

Loren in MN · Apr 28, 2013

What models used a white painted three wire rear light and which ones used a red painted three wire rear light with the rubber trim? I have a 756 that I believe would use a white light like a 706 but I have several red painted lights.
I know that I can paint it, but this got me to thinking about what original models used the red lights.
I was just wondering what models the red painted lights came off of.
I thought they were all white except for the earlier A,B,C,H,and M lights.

In my opinion the 56 06 series would have been a transition period. Depending on which lights were used, maybe installed at the factory or added later from parts. Could have been either red or white.

Our 69 856 also came with white lights and I believe the late 06,s did as well.

I believe the 1206 was the first to use white lights in 66 or 67.

By 72 they went back to red lights on the 66 series. The 56 series in 71 may have went back to red as well.

About 4 or 5 years was the run of white lights in my observation.

Thanks, guys! Figured I could use either and be correct but it did get me to wondering.

i looked through Tim Putt's book of tractor ad pictures and it looks like most of the tractors of that era had white headlights and red taillights.
