Hey guys here are a few photos of my Colt Super 10.

SWEET

I'm guessing it's original?

 

[Rob_P]

It's so...pretty. You guys and your Colts are going to turn me into a hobbyist, yet. Damn you. :sidelaugh:

Very Nice!

Is that actually particle board on the mower deck?
Hmmmm. Very creative!!

Hmmmm. Very creative!!

Sure looks like the original metal covers to me just a little discolored from age. Notice the flanged edges with bolts?

NutCase2 - That is sure a cool looking Colt tractor. :thumbup:

If you mean the outboard pulley guards, those look to be sheetmetal to me, and I'f I'm not mistaken, they are as they left the factory, color-wise.
Edit: Beaten to the punch once again by the more-knowledgeable and more nimble-fingered! :thumbsup:

The covers are metal, just slightly discolored.
It is very much all there and original. I am not quite sure that steering wheel is original. I understand that style was found on the high wheel models but who know?? She runs like new extemely tight and quiet no smoke and no noise. I am quite happy with her

The throttle is the type you pull out and turn to the side to set it's position. I think it's the shut off lever you see.

Nice Colt.

If you owned a Rancher, it would have 16" rear tires. The one in the photo has 12" tires and it has headlamps. It's a Colt Super.

There is no mechanical shutoff on Colt tractors. They have a key switch that controls those functions along with a choke, throttle and headlamp switch. If you read the thread again, you will see that the Colt is ORIGINAL. It has not been repainted.

Cool looking Colt!!!!! I like it.....pete

I have seen this tractor somewhere before. It is very nice. It needs just a few things to make it right.

The steering wheel could be original. That seems to depend upon how late in the model production it was built. I have one with that wheel and it is original to the tractor. The wheel center likely was replaced. It looks too nice. A call or PM to Mr. Daenzer with your SN and he could tell you. Have your Engine SN as well and he can tell you if it is original.

Even though Tom says we have them all, there are some out there ready to be restored. I know of several that are for sale. I would be more than happy to help any member become a Colt owner. As I said in the other thread: Colt owners are the coolest guys on the site. :thumbup:

I was tempted to take issue with that statement until I remembered that Hilda`s a girl.....
