Well I know I talked with someone in VT about that very type of emblem. I just thought it might have been you. Its a small world, just not quite small enough! LOL!
All I know is they were the first styled off the line. I'm not sure if there is any good record of how many of that type were made. Hopefully someone can shed some more light.

Bill in CT.Bill, the paint code number I used for Cletrac Orange about 4 years ago was Dupont Dulux 017H. I am very happy with the results.
I recently searched for Cletrac Orange and found the following PPG Paint Color Codes on:
//http://www.worldpath.net/~thompson/misc/PPG%20Tractor%20Colors.htm
Cletrac Orange----------------60045
Cletrac Orange----------------60376
Oliver Cletrac Orange--------60583
Oliver Orange-----------------60433
Oliver Yellow------------------81892
It was not clear to me why they listed so many different paint codes.

You can resize them with an image editing program like Photoshop Elements or similar on your computer before you up load them to your image hosting website.
A lot of image hosting websites will offer free software to do this or they also resize them automatically when you up load to their site. Do a search on the web for "free image editing" Here's a list of some //http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pixelbasedwin/tp/freephotoedw.htm

Update on paint code: the can from the PPG dealer has a label that says AGRICULTURAL MAE60583 A. I seem to recall that the paint I'd bought earlier and gave to the guy who painted the tractor was OMNI MAE, so I am guessing that the MAE prefix references the previous supplier. It took a lot of paint to cover.

At least 2 gallons for mine and it wasn't completely stripped. Plus about a half gallon for the tracks.

I do believe you must register for facebook to view it. Possibly not depending on the security settings. It only takes a miniute or two to register.
