Oliver 77 original decal style?

[S.D.L.]

Hello, I have a 1951 Oliver 77 Row Crop serial number: 338872 and was wondering if it should have the decals on the rear side panels that just say Row Crop 77 or the ones that say Oliver Row Crop 77? Thanks!

51 uses the yellow ones that say Oliver Row Crop. Through 50 they used the red Row Crop only decal.

You wouldn't happen to know if the tractor needs to be painted the darker earlier green color or the other one they switched to around that time that most you see are painted. Thanks!

They've changed the paint numbers. When they used the old numbers,there was one in between the early fleetlines and the supers and that's the one I used on my 51. If it was me,I'd use the early new paint number. The later one that they claim is 51 up is the same number as the three and four digits.
