Dimensions of decals/badges

Post by TueDie »

Hi!
I've bought a used vinyl plotter, and would like to play around making some some vinyl stickers.

Can anyone give me some info on the dimensions of the "Live PTO" decals and badges?

I'm afraid No NP tractor had such badges or decals. The badge you posted was first used on Dexta's, and concurrently with Power Major's when in production. On both it was replaced by the decal on Super Major's and the restyle of the Dexta then, and in late 62 they were discontinued deemed unnecessary. Major's between 1417988 and 1481091 used a similar badge to that used by Power Major's but with gold instead of blue. Then there's this: https://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/phpb ... f=2&t=5803 Not yet sure how that ties in.I suggest you look at old Ford films for reference, they're very good for that.

I'm afraid I can't give you sizes for we don't have any live clutches, but with the films and pics you should be able to work it out. The badge is particularly easy as it fits in the RH grille as you can see in the old posts. You'll notice the blue in repro badges is much lighter than that used on original ones.

The squares on the paper are 5mm x 5mm, as Sandy says the original badge was a darker blue with a metallic paint, there is some of the paint on the back of the badge. I only have this one, can't help with the orange one sorry
My biggest fear is that when i die my wife will sell my tractors for what i told her they cost
