correct colors for gas and radiator cap

farm boy flyer · Nov 9, 2018

I am restoring an early 620 and have taken many pictures of these at shows. I have seen radiator caps both painted green and cad plated. I have also seen fuel caps painted red similar to later models and also painted green. I would like to know what is correct for this model.

My 620 (6221964) when I restored it 10 years ago & researching what others told me at the time
attending many show's I copied what I saw on a few PERECT 620's that caught my eye. And
was a cad/Radiator cap & & Red Gasoline cap. At that time a New Cap from Deere came in Red.
Whether that is 100% IDK but I'm am still happy with my choices.

Those new caps from Deere are like a 4020 cap and are vented. These will let fuel slop out at least if used on a diesel 720. I had to epoxy the center vent hole shut. But make sure your factory vent tube is open first.

right or wrong I like to color coordinate them to what newer machines use. Black on radiator and red on fuel.

I think cad plated for radiator, and like the previous poster I had fuel sloshing out of my new cap on my new paint and Kent at K&K fixed me up with one that worked like it should

Thanks for all of the comments. I just found an original 20 series brochure that I got years ago on ebay. Of course it is an artist's rendering but it shows the fuel cap as red and the radiator cap as green.
