Round Hood Letter Painting

[MikesRJ 552]

When did Wheelhorse begin painting the lettering on the front of the hoods?

I know some RJ's came from the factory only painted red. Some believe all were not painted, other think some were. Who's right?

What about the later round hood models. Was the lettering painted white, linen, or not at all?

All hoods with the wheel horse indent or the raised letters were painted white or what ever color if the werent then it was a replacement hood I hav a few that were not painted that were new replacement hood the last one was a lawn ranger that went for $250.00 un painted letters

Then I suppose the "Linens" have it, motion passed! Linen it shall be.
