hmmm... just found something more at that wisconsin historical society site - under "paint decisions" that now has me wondering again (mine is a 1948):
In accordance with "Amendment to Paint Committee Decision No. 168" dated March 31, 1948, the Farmall Cub, Super A, and Super C operated moewrs will be painted in the three standard colors-- para red, blue, and cream. Effective immediately these mowers will be painted in accordance with the following list:
Cub Mower -- all blue.
No. 24 Tractor Mower -- Break-away bar, blue; lifting springs and gag post assembly, blue; inner and outer grass rods, blue; balance, all red.
AI-23 Tractor Mower -- Main frame and bearing housing, red; lifting springs, cable guide, grass rods, cable pulley and bracket, lifting arm and lifting chain assembly and pulley shield, blue.
Wheels, cutter bars, pitman and other parts not mentioned above will be painted cream, black, varnish or blue lacquer as heretofore.
They don't specifically mention the 21... but the 24 is just a heavy duty version of the 21. The 23 is a commercial version.
