D17puller, Twostepn2001 and I have been quizing any and all guys we can find! But we are more concerned about LP tractors, Most especially 656/756LP row-crops. There is little to no written records! There is a fellow YTer here that worked on the line, After, the Gold Demos, There were 4 of so lines of production and some were done Gold Demo and the rest were all the usual Red & White. I think! the line Manager pulled tractors off the line to fill the basic, Initial offering of Demos that each dealer needed for their service area! (Sorta like when Chevy brings out a new special Corvette, Every dealer Gets 1)
the following tractors were to what was popular, and selling well in their Customer base!
I still maintain it is up to Dealer allocations and what was selling at a particular Dealership! and what the Line-manager pulled of the line and sent to be gold Demoed!
What was the Criteria, thought process, and who made the decision on a particular tractor being Demo Painted and How that happened. Were they painted on the regular paint line Or were the tractors completed to a point, painted, then pulled from the line and sent to a Boutique Paint Shop ON Premise and some parts repainted Gold, or completed There with Fenders, Hood, and the like. Waaay to many ????s and far too few answers.
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
