Red. The radiator is supposed to be red. The carburetor is supposed to be red. Everything except the tires, rear rims, the steering wheel and the operator is supposed to be red.

Red, ask for it by name. Unless in french, then it's rouge.

I'm a mess.... my radiator has never been painted, or if it was, it's black. And it is staying that way. Some of the tractor is white, some is yeller, the carb is NAKED. But my tires are black.... except of the yellow dust and overspray on the rear ones.... the new front ones are still black, but they are not on the white rims YET.

Mine were red also, but when I painted the cub I polished the caps and carb with steel wool and clear coated them, I know its not original but I think it looks good.
My dad once told me if it wasn't for bad luck......I wouldn't have any luck at all......
