Early 1650 question

[8NHENRY]

So my question is, on early 1650's where the fender lights are, was that ever painted green like the 1600's? I seen one the other day and was curious if that was the case or not.
Thanks

Should be green. That area wasn't painted clover white till the '55
series.

My 1650 is a 1968 and its original and the tin by lights is white. Steve

They are white on my '65 1550. Didn't the whole line use the same paint scheme.

That's just it, my dad bought a 65 and a 66 both used in the 80's and both had white paint. My brother is painting this tractor for a customer and it has green in that spot so we aren't sure if the early 1650's maybe came out that way or maybe these fenders came off of a 1600. Figured allot of knowledge resides on this board somI figured I would ask.
Thanks

I wouldn't bet that anything was carved in stone when it comes to these Olivers. My 1550 and 1850 are white there. We know there were some 1800C gassers at the factory yet when the 1850s came out,and they were brought back in and had the tags and decals changed. They were sold as 1850 gassers. If they used up whole tractors like that after a model change,you can bet they would have used up some left over fenders.
