I have a 61 1/2 ton (please see link to picture in my signature). Is it normal for the primers to be different colors? The hood has clearly been on there a long time, because the paint fade is the same. The farmer I bought it from says thats the hood that came with it. He bought it new.

Is it possible for that hood to have been a dealer swap?

Like maybe it was a leftover 61 and the farmer bought it in 62 and wanted the different hood?

It's either that or it was in a wreck that he either forgot about or didn't want to tell me about.

You can see the differeing colors of primer though.

There is also a repair to the frame on the front drivers side crossmember.

Anyways...thoughts??
