Some wierd answers in this thread, mostly from people who are guessing. All demos were painted at the factory, and were supposed to be painted red by the dealer before sale, some slipped through. Demos were made in Jan, Feb, and March of 1950. BUT, all tractors in that time period may not be demos. It must have a serial number in the correct range, and white paint under the red. The tractors were not stripped before being painted by the dealer. Obvious white usually shows under the hood, behind the battery box, etc, along with white under red on everything else; except for mine, I painted mine red after removing all traces of white paint. The casting codes were correct, but the serial tag was a replacement. I do have pictures before painting. The serial range for the C is 47010-54411. Early demos will have some S (1949) casting codes, later ones are probably all T's, or 1950; but S cannot be excluded even for those assembled in late March. The one in this thread needs a lot of work to make it "original", thus is worth no more, probably less than a regular C, unless someone likes the dual wheels.
