As I was looking over the parts that I have ,I noticed that the control valve cover is missing.Am wondering if anyone would be willing to make a pattern of the one they may have and mail it to me,would be willing to pay a fee for it. Thanks John

Looks like a good solid tractor you're starting with.

By the way,what is the car in the back ground?

Perhaps Jim (oldcasecoltguy) will be kind enough to give you the paint codes and name of paint company that he has used in the past.

The car is a 1935 Ford 2 Door,another work in progress,streetrod . I'm sure I'll have the tractor done before the car though. John

I am in need of a carb for the motor,I have one on a K241 from a 76 John Deere , what are the chances of it working on the Colt motor. John

Hey snotrocket thanks for adding the pictures for me,I'll have to take some time and figure out how to post pictures to this forum,and hydriv for the info on the carb,thats what I like short sweet answers. Got the new decals today and ordered the control valve cover yesterday from Steve .What a nice guy,sending me the parts then pay him.Now that doesn't happen too often in these times or anytime for that matter,but you all have told me this is a great site,I agree.

I see these tractors have fans by the oil cooler,do they draw or push the air.I have aluminum fan blade,but not sure if it is the correct one. Whats the diameter and # of blades suppose to be. John

Well,started to put some primer on the Colt,been a wild winter,not weather wise. I'll just keep plugging away and someday it will be done. John

My apologies, John. I'm surprised that one of our resident Colt enthusiasts did not reply. The parts manual for the 1965 models show a 5 bladed fan and it is metal, not plastic. Presumably, it pulls air through the cooler. Jim Daenzer has replacement fans for these tractors (oldcoltcaseguy) and you could e-mail him for a definitive answer.
