'72 4000

[SDGREEN]

Restoring a '72 4000 and I am trying to determine if the battery hold down frame on the top of the battery should be painted black or green. Also were the j bolts painted or not. The new hold downs from JD come black, but somehow I remember them as being green like the lower tray. If anyone can tell me for sure it would be appreciated.

I have an 71 4000, yeah my self can't remember color, the bottom holder is green and I just replaced the top holder and bolts, top was painted black from dealer and bolts were not painted so I put something on bolts so it won't rust.

Gotten to love those 4000's they good tractors to have around. No am not selling it!!!

I'm pretty sure they were green originally.

Hold downs were black ands the j bolts were plated a gold color. 4000 was a great tractor even if it was only $600 less than a 4020.
