mattroh 07-27-2012 08:53:46 12.43.160.92 Report to Moderator	I am wondering, on the main John Deere decal on the hood, where does it go? I've seen some centered on the hood, and some closer to the front of the hood... this is my first tractor that I've restored, and I have no idea. This is on a 1954 JD 70 Gas, Row-Crop Tractor. Thanks in advance, Matt [Reply]   [No Email]

Even with a water pump. The be careful PTO decal I have seen, at different places on the tractor. There is a PTO warning that is a plate mounted on the battery box, on the backside. There is also a call out for the sticker to go on the PTO shield, and I have also seen one low on the pedestal holding the steering wheel, throttle and head lights. The every 10 hr decal goes on the oil cup, that is mounted on the oil bath air cleaner via a thumb screw clamp. On the cup will be embossed a oil level line. The decal goes under that centered on the cup in both directions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Absence of patent decals is a dead giveaway of a repaint since they were never supplied in any decal set.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I have seen no evidence/indication that this tractor has ever been repainted or that the decals have ever been replaced. Each individual letter in the decal is separate and apart from the other letters. On the pulley side the decal is 4 inches from the seem of the hood and nose. One the flywheel side the decal is 41/2 inches from the seem of the hood and nose. Here are a couple of photos of the number 70. Each number in the decal is separate and apart from the other number. The number 70 on the pulley side is 3 inches from the bottom of the number 7 to the bottom of the nose and 1 inch from the right edge of the 0 to the grill screen. The number 70 on the flywheel side is 3 inches from the bottom of the number 7 to the bottom of the nose and 1 inch from the bottom of the number 7 to the grill screen. Hope this helps.   [Reply]  [No Email]

That measurement looks about right from pictures and other tractors I've seen. Mike   [Reply]  [No Email]

The diesel was skewed a bit to allow for the "Diesel" decal. The '70' tilts at 28 degrees. This post was edited by F-I-T at 15:05:07 07/27/12.   [Reply]  [No Email]
