Gary -- I have a VAC-14 too, and it is different colors (I couldn't figure this out for anything until I posted here). The new Flambeau Red, Desert Sunset paint scheme came out in 1955. The 1954 VACs that didn't sell soon enough had the tin repainted to desert sunset because the '55s hit the market and everyone wanted the new paint scheme. Mine needs a fresh coat for the tractor shows and I am going to leave it two-tone because I like the story. So if your tractor is red/tan right now, it may have been that way since it was born..... Anyone out there who knows this story please let me know if I got it wrong. I think it's kind of neat -- Russ in WI

I have a 1955 VAC 14,it was never 2 tone. I also have a 1955 VAH that was not shipped from the factory until late 1956, that was repainted desertsunset before the original paint faded.Was it done at the factory or the dealer that is the big question. martin

I used an acrylic enamel on my VAC. The PPG code in their DAR product is PPG DAR 71282. It seemed to match the paint I exposed that had been original and protected.

Photo shows it still waiting for its grill.

Frank, do you need the tool box cover? I have two laying out in the top of my tool chest.

Thanks Russ, but I have it, and its painted, but I haven't had time to install it because the darn little critter is always busy working! I have a grille that I have been working on to get painted for over a year, but I started on building a new workshop/Morton building and that has pushed my projects.

The VAC is one handy little tractor, and pretty cheap on fuel, too.
