Factory Painting

When the T3-C's were new from the factory, was everything red or was the frame, axel, bearing grease covers black and the tub red?

 

I'm guessing nobody knows?

 

I can't say for sure as I have never seen an unrestored specimen but, my belief is that everything was red or green. The hitch and tongues on each of the ones I have had or have were all the same color as the body, as were the wheel hubs. Hitch colors were revealed after sanding through other people's coats of various colors.

There is an excellent resource on the 2A page, dedicated to the TC-3. Tons of details and info. Check it out if you get a chance and haven't already.

EDIT: Actually, the link to the page is in the first thread in this forum. It's where you want to go for answers. I mean,.........it's the place to be.

 

Been there and there is very little activity. Unfortunately.
