I’m working on a 1961 D12 sn307x I’m confused on the grill / color.
Currently there is an expanded steel grill welded in from the back. It looks like it was silver but not sure. There is no overlay grill. There is a small bolt sticking out the top center of grill opening that could have held a bolt on grill. The pictures I’ve seen show a plethora of colors & grill styles. What is correct? Black, cream, silver, three bars , square holes ??? Thanks

These little guys can be confusing and I didn't grow up around them which doesn't help. With chassis s/n 3001 and up on a D-12, you are considered a series 2 model. You should have a PTO clutch, if it has a PTO, and it is independent, not ground drive like a series 1 version. I say the paint scheme should have been Persian orange number 2 with creme wheel centers, steering wheel and a creme colored grille screen. The grille screening is horizontal screen like a D-17 series 3 or 4. Not the "X" bar screen. The grille was always separate from the grille/radiator shell, not welded to the shell. If there were early series 2's that were different that this, AGCO parts books doesn't show that. I have a D-10 also a 1961 model (don't have the s/n with me) and that is how it is configured. EDIT: I just found a U-tube video of a gentleman at an antique show with his 1961 D-10 series 2. He claims that the first half of 1961 the D-10/12's were still the old 3-horizontal bars/X-screen grilles (black/silver) and mid-year that got changed to the creme paint and horizontal style. It's almost like they had some left over 1960 build models sitting around and carried them over to early 1961. Technically, the chassis should have been persian orange #1, but who knows. Like I say, the parts book doesn't reflect these differences well at all.
