I am having a generator for my DC rebuilt. Question is what color should it be. Generator was Flambeau red (at one time) no sign of black.
My VAC Starter and Generator were both black(as are most all the photos of restored VACs).
Photos for DC show some Flambeau some black was it changed at some point or did restorers take artistic license.???

Paul, I am wondering the same thing. I am working on a 1952 DC and have the original generater and voltage regulater. Both of these show only Flambeau paint down to the metal. Old family photos of this tractor clearly show a Flambeau generater, regulater and STARTER. I believe earlier DC's, most SC's and VAC's had black ones. In an old issue of OLD ABE'S NEWS, DC Tom had a multi page article on the history of the D series. In those factory photos, the later ones look Flambeau. I have been hunting for a regulater for this tractor. I need a later one that has AUTOLITE stamped on the cover. All the ones I find (stamped AUTOLITE) are Flambeau down to the bare metal. This is what I have discovered so far. Does anyone have a NOS regulater I can buy? Bruce
