I like the shelf to put your tools and beer on while you work on it.

Some came with orange starters, some with black and I'm pretty sure some came from the factory with painted wires as well.

A very common response here when a tractor won't crank is to make sure that there is no paint on the starter/bell-housing mating surface that would interfere with the grounding of the starter. If the starter was black that would mean that the mating surfaces were either masked before or scraped after painting, neither of which is likely. If you come across a tractor that still has original paint, look behind the starter. you will see the shadow of the starter in the paint. Many starters including the one on one of my tractors are black because they didn't get painted after getting rebuilt. The auto electric shops were not about to stock every color paint for the starters that they worked on so they got painted black, same as cars and trucks, and the starter on a tractor that is used daily would have gone to the shop every fifteen years or so. Another major reason for black on tractors that are getting nice paint jobs is that all one color is not as pleasing to the eye as the contrast of two colors. And now you know the rest of the story.

So, look at the factory pictures taken from an original A-C manual......in one the starter is black and in the other, the starter is apparently orange.....can't prove it's orange since its a "black" and white photo. I still say they came original either way.
