I am iffy on what colors the starter, generator,lights, distrubor, coil, and radiator cap are. I have seen them black and prarie gold. Also the rear wheels. I know the cast center part is cherry red but is the hub it self with the clamp red or gold. [Reply]   [No Email]

Radiator cap some were left metal and some are painted P.G. I think on mine I will go P.G. cap on black radiator. Best, Tony [Reply]  [No Email]

I can't decide what to do right now I have everything painted gold but got to second guessing myself. My hubs were yellow before I blasted them but the tractor was also cat yellow so I didn't trust the previous owners paint sceme. [Reply]  [No Email]

Color of accessories depends on the year of your UTU. Very early models that did not come with electrical equipment from the factory typically have black accessories since these were a kit installed by the dealer. I've seen pictures of U's on the production line prior to the rear wheel centers being installed and everything was prairie gold - starter, generator, distributor, coil, rear wheel hubs. I'm not sure on the radiator cap but typically the lights were black. I've never seen one with yellow lights. Brian [Reply]  [No Email]
