Did JD ever have black side screens on 40/50/55 series? I know some have black shrouds but have seen some with black screens and just figured had be repainted for a different look.Thanks
 
Our 2555 2wd open station has black shrouds and side screens. They are not painted and IIRC they are a plastic material. I know of a local 2355 2wd open station with the same set up.

Our 2240, 2440 and 2550 all have green metal side screens.
 
Larry, I think a few utility tractors came with black screens but to my knowledge no Waterloo tractor of that age ever did. I guess some think it looks cool. I am not in that group. Mike
 
I do the same when I repaint mine. the 4020 thru the 50 series. May not be factory spec but I like the look!
 
Our 2155 has black screens. I know the 30-40 series don't , and I am not sure about the 50 series as most people around here have the 55 series.
 
All the European built 50 series, which are the small 55 series in the US have black screens from the factory, whith European front lights that are black as well.
I have few brochures, and they are that way. I do not like them that way.

They started to use black on the 3640, which was a late addition to the European 40 series (not sure if it was available in the US). It is a 3140 whith a much reinforced frame, and three point hitch. And the 5.9L engine is pushed to 112HP on those, which does not make it as torkey as the successor, the 3650 with the turbo and just 3 more hps. (5.6T of lift insteaf of 4T on a 3140). The 3640 also had a front decal that was black, and it looked pretty weird.

Sorry, this is a 3640, probably the inspiration for some more "black". The 3640 was overall not the best of the 40 series, particularly if the tractor was worked very hard to do the work a 4050 should have done, but the dealer did not want to sell to be more competitive on price.
