I am in the middle of restoring a 953 gear with the long hubs
(pre-1955) it's been repainted but it looks like a quick job so I
plan on repainting it myself. My question is what color should
those long hubs be? I've seen some people paint them yellow
like the rim and I've seen some people paint them green. We
have a couple original paint 953s on the farm and they have
green hubs however they are both the newer press in style. Is
the older long hub models the same in that they should be
green?
 
All the ones I have had where yellow.
Here is one that was never painted. This gear is all original to the best of my knowledge.

I have NEVER seen a green hub, they were all yellow and I have one seting here now that Dad bought new back in about 53-55, never repainted and they are yellow.
