C 165

[John2189 450]

I have a C165 that the hood was painted red. Id like to paint it black, but not sure where the paint lines are supposed to be. Ive seen pics of them high and low. Does someone have an original picture that you could post?  Thanks, John

Check out my post on the WHCC Feature tractor and picture re-creation. It shows the C-175 but the paint lines are the same for a 165.

I use semi-gloss black but hat may not be absolutely correct

Not really a black hood fan, but they look great!

Thanks for all the pictures. Looks like the paint line is on the high side.

Looking good C-85. How much snow do you have in White river?
