M35A3 Yellow vs Green Motor

[jstier]

Been looking at M35A3's. Can anyone explain why some have Green motors and some the Yellow?

I have my own Ideas but not sure

Thanks

I didn't know if yellow was a replacement and green was how they left referb.

The newer trucks have the yellow motor . I would doubt the yellow ones are a replacement .

Yellow is more better.

Hello from Southern Maine! I've hiked to the top of Goose Eye Mountain, I think that's the closest I've been to Berlin. Also been through Grafton Notch and up and down Old Speck a few times--beautiful area!

Doesn't having it yellow instead of green mean you have to pay full "CAT Yellow" price for everything?

I know CAT prices are nuts, But just think what they must charge Uncle Sam and his endless supply of cash for same thing.

I agree, I'm sure the Army paid far more for the custom green CARC on my engine than a 'factory yellow' paint job.
