Flathead Colour

[ajmac]

That's about the size of it!

Mine is going green along with the gearbox as I found original dark green paint hidden under the oil and grime on the Loyds.

Also of interest is the ford supplied parts which Loyd used, every part of the Loyd has a pea green primer and OD top coat, however the prop cover, torque tube and I THINK the axle all have a red oxide primer and OD topcoat. I'm not sure about the bogies yet as they haven't given me one spot of paint, far too much rust for that!

The Flathead from the Loyd is proving a bu#ger to strip down due to the range damage, however evidence suggests that it is wartime production. 24 stud, which gives us post 1939. Two bolt front cover, which gives us post 1942 and no cast numbers on the bell housing which means not post 46 production. 1942 - 1946.

Does anyone know how I can ID it as Canadian manufactured?
