 If I did this right, you should see a photo of my 1935 C. Since I took the picture, I've seen the error of my ways and painted the radiator screen black. I haven't painted the hub nuts/caps black yet, but probably will Case C is LC Gray (same dark gray as L) with wheels Case Red and radiator screen and fan black. Raised lettering on hood sides and radiator is silver (earlier models didn't have embossed lettering on hood, and decals are available. Striping on hood sides, horizontal and centered on lettering, running to ends of hood, starting top to bottom: 1/8 inch white, 1/8 inch gap, 3/8 inch red, 1/8 inch gap, 1/8 inch white. There's also striping on the fender edges (not on top of the ribs). I can't remember the specs, but I'll take a look at mine and measure it and post it here. Some late 30's photos show the nuts on the center of the rear hubs, and the CASE caps on the front wheel bearings black. They were using panchromatic film by then, so it's possible to distinguish black from red on the black & white photos. See page 58 in Case Tractors 1912-1959 Photo Archive, by P.A. Letourneau. It's an excellent pictorial reference.
