Changing the blue to grey???

[Greg]

Ok, I have a B7100 HST that has been poorly painted through the years. However, it has been painted and all the metal is in in credibly good condition. But if you look in my album, you will see the blue is completely wrong anyway. Part by part I will be stripping or sandblasting and repainting. Today I took some parts of and found one of them to be painted in a dark grey under the blue. The hydraulic block take off for loader has original Grey paint. Is it possible this was not blue originally?

Any way, my to you all is, what do you think of a 1981 B7100 HST in orange and grey, rather than orange and blue? I think I relly like the grey better.

Also, anyone know what the tread size is on that hydraulic block? Looks like 1/4" NPT although I thought it was all metric.

Some change is not good for me and the gray has not grown on me yet. I like the old blue but there are two different blues that I know of.
A dealer would have the listing of what that tractor is supposed to have if that is what you want to go with.

Just paint it the latest blue with the latest orange (bright orange #2 That is what I did.
