Need advice for finishing up my 8N restoration. What color should the generator and starter be? Black or Red?

What is correct for attaching the fenders to the underlying bracket. Mine has one rivet in the center top,and bolts/nuts for the others. I can see in some original 9N pictures that all are rivets, but it seems that in original 8N pictures that there is a mixture of rivets and bolts.

Any help much appreciated.

Frank, When the 8N came from the factory, the Gen. and starter were red. The replacements were black. If you are restoring the tractor to its original appearance, they should be painted red. As for the rivits in the fenders, my 8N has 3 rivits at the bottom and one at the top center of the fender. The rest are bolts for attaching light brackets etc. Hope this helps!!

Hi, there. I have seen both the generator and the starter red or black or any combination of one or the other. Mostly, I believe, the starter is red and the generator is black. On the fenders, there are four rivets. One at the very top and three at the bottom, the rest are carriage bolts. I just rebuilt two and used carriage bolts for all of them as I have no resource for rivets that size nor the tool to properly install them. For the ones that I put in the rivet holes I ground off the square shoulders leaving just enough to give some friction when I tightened up the nut it did not spin. This was for a working tractor not for show.
