[AJD] 51 B Gauge Color?

[Mike Scholl]

I think that it holds true with many parts bought from Deere.  They want to sell you the part that works, but not necessarily the "correct" part.  Case in point, decals.... If you order decals for an unstyled tractor, you get decals correct for styled tractors.  

 

I bought the parts CD (from Deere) for the Unstyled B, on the last pages of the document, it shows decals. NONE are correct for any unstyled!
