Well, during a lull in the activities, I decided to sand down the flaky things that vaguely resembled rear axles. Through the layers I exposed bare metal, rust, Flambeau Red, and even some Red Latex (yeah Latex!).

Would someone be kind enough to tell me how most Case owners finish the axles these days? On my JD, which had bare metal from the factory, some people clearcoat them, but most use semi-gloss black, which is the way I was leaning.

Thanks,

Frank

Hey Frank,
There were a few with some black on them. First year production that had the chicken roost steering had some black axils and even some black rims. son't know how many but if you have access to the "Full Steam Ahead" you'll find one with the black axil. there is also one on steel that has black axil and blask lugs on steel wheels. Your later model however should have been all Flam red. Any leads on a plow yet?. Have Fun

Wheat:

I guess I'll just paint them Flambeau Red, then. I was all prepared to make them black! "F.Red" sure is easier!

No plows yet. I'm still looking!

Frank
