As mentioned earlier a dealer support had to do with what tractors were popular in an area. My dad always said "Red" in front, and green behind. Mainly because he couldn't stand the noise of a JD. He did have the utmost repect of the other implements due to the dealer. The only exception was a Gehl chopper. (Blower and wagons green.)

Later on when the JD dealer quit and the next best dealer with support, the color changed.

The early 50's had two tractors in our neighborhood that were the looked on as the super powers. My dad's M (1947 and my cousin's John Deere G (1949) Those days they both did custom work in threshing and filling silos. My dad always left in the morning with the M and made it home on the a tank of fuel without refilling. My cousin always carried a 15 gallon drum besides to make it thru the day.
