1963 Lo-boy sickle bar mower

[mts1960]

I'm looking for information as to the correct color and decals and placement my lo-boy mower that I just did a full restoration on. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks all.

Have you checked the manuals at the Quick links tab, top left corner of this page? Look for pdf manuals, then look for attachments.

Look at the L-22 pictures on the TM site. Here is the link:
http://www.tmtractor.com/tm-tractor/gim/22com_001.htm
The L-22 on that page is mine. I did some careful research on colors before I painted it. I couldn't find documentation on the three-sided red piece bolted to the bell housing. Careful inspection indicated the original paint was red. Note that the outer grass rod, not in these pictures, is also red. This machine evidently came with my '59 Lo-Boy when it was new. Later on IH went with yellow for these mowers. I can't say when that happened.

many of the L22 were blue in the early 60's I found, had several here, , in 64 they made them yellow & black for the square nose

Note: Wehn I said "original paint was red" in my previous post, I was only referring to the three-sided piece. Most of the rest was blue as seen in the pictures.
