Hi
This is a sore subject here on the forum, so take this answer and :run: :lol:
The grills on your tractor should be blue none of them where ever orange, according to our guy that worked on them from new ( Brian). The grills on powers where supposed to be silver and I assume on the blue orange super as well, and on the last super they where The same color as the wheels/fenders :) .
Regards Robert

Some of us guys paint them Orange because we think they look better. I have a can of Silver paint ready to correct my Power Major someday if I ever get the ambition. After all, it is only a little paint. :eyes: :run: Dandy Dave!

Hi Guys
All I Did was answer the question that was asked, If the guy decides to paint them orange that's his choice as it is yours and mine with what i do :) . so good luck with the grill painting :) And maybe just don't show Brian the pictures if they happen to come out an orange shade of blue :wink: :run: :lol:
