As Jason mentioned there are no exact right or wrong ways for painting model 42 Silver Kings. Thru my years of studying factory pictures and original tractors, there are certain things that you can kind of come up with a concensus on, or in other words, determine the way that the majority of them were painted. Something that I noticed when it comes to the rear rims from studying original pictures/brochures/advertisements, it seemed that if it is an earlier model 42 with the flat topped fenders the rear rims tended to be red, but the later ones with the clam shell fenders seemed to have silver rims. Something that seems to be pretty well the same across the board is the paint scheme of the grille bars. Every other one is red starting at the top with the center vertical bar being silver. Lights should be black, front rims red along with rear wheel cast centers. Decal placement and shade of silver/white/goldish are 2 things that varied a lot!!! I have posted 2 original pictures/newspaper articles from when they were new and one picture that shows a tractor that is still in original condition. Hope this helps!

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
