I have one and a Big 6, which is the same as the #6 just bigger, my #6 is not working, I bought it and never did anything with it because I got the Big 6 the next day and restored it, All the info I have came out of the book " 150 Years of IHC" The #6 was introduced by IH in 1914, Built in 4-1/2 and 5 foot sizes, the NO. 6 was loaded with features, these included a heat treaded high grade steel cutter bar, quailty steel knives and ledger plates, The No. 6 was built in Regular Lift and Vertical life styles(I have no idea what that means) Shipping weight of these units was about 700 pounds. Production of the No6 ended in 1934 The 4 1/2 foot model had a 1921 price of $72 and for a extra dollor the 5 foot mower could be substiuted, I have added a link to my web page, go there and under impliements is a pic of my Big 6, They were painted the same, that is, A red frame, yellow tongue, and tan wheels with blue rims. I had a web page in my Favorites that sold redone No. 6s and Big 6s, but I can't seem to find it right now, If you send me your email, if I find it I will let you know, they also sell the manuals there,which I think I have their email address some where. I am not sure on decals, If you have any more questions feel free to email me
