Locations for decals and markings

[Chasetractor]

Hello,

Does anyone know where I could find accurate paint schemes and marking locations for a Case VA? My project is getting to the point where I need to start thinking about ordering decals or making stencils etc. Were the original markings decals or painted on?

Thanks in advance!

Also, I post updates on the project on Instagram and Facebook @Chase_Ward_Restoration if anyone is interested.

Decals...my 49 VAC...

Pictures in an owner's manual is what we went by.

This is great. Thanks! I'm going guess markings would have been pretty universal across the series in a given year.

Is your exhaust manifold painted silver? Just a bit hard to see in the picture. Thanks again!

No, burnt paint. It got painted when the tractor did and burned off after use on a Case feed grinder....

Them black lines are painted on.

No, they are a decal.

BULL , they are. i have a few cases the D, DC4 and the LA and them black strips ARE PAINT, and they still have the original paint on them. they are not a decal.

my vac has original rust finish. at back of hood about 3 inches from rear it has a very unreadable safety sticker. mine is a 52 model. yours sure looks nice too

None were paint...all were decal. Buy a decal set and find out for yourself.

Sorry to say if they are painted on then it has been repainted.From factory they were a decal.
