HG paint color

[marv in minn]

what would determine if an HG would be painted yellow, orange or green? i've seen them in all 3 colors.

The serial number determines the color for the most part.

The earlier HG was Orange when they were owned by Cleveland Tractor.(Cletrac)

The later ones where Green when Oliver Corp. bought Cletrac.

The only ones of that style that should be painted yellow are the OC-3's.

Maybe someone has the exact year when they changed from orange to green.
 If you need paint codes I can post them later as I don't have them with me at the moment.
