I restored a 29 10-20 a few years ago and when looking for parts, I ran across a suprising amount of original unrestored 10-20s and 15-30s and 22-36s. I only saw one that had letters on the radiator painted and it looked like some one just painted them on. Some old pics I found showed the letters the same shade as the rad tank even though the pics were black and white if they were painted white they would have stood out. The original color of the tractor was grey but not light grey. I was told by a guy who knew tons about them and had acually found the formula for the grey in an old dealership records. The formula was for mixing a 55 gallon drum and I don't remember the exact amount there were 2 colors used, battleship grey and black.. It made for the darker shade of grey. The "back of my mind "tells me it was 54 gallons of grey to one gallon black. Some of the lighter grey ones you see may just be faded or had been repainted years ago. The paint they used back then was not very good compared to todays standards. I think there may still be pics of my 10-20 in the tractor photo section on this site if you want to see a shot of the front end.
