I got this from an old farmer, I offered him $20.00 but he said, just take it. All the parts are there the teath on the gears ar all there, and once I sand blast it, it will look good as new. What color is the proper color for this brand of blower? :D :D

I have a blower very similar. It is a "Royal Western Chief". It's my demo forge blower and works GREAT. Paint? I just cleaned it up, inside and out, when I got it, added new oil and put it to work. Not sure, but I think form what I can tell, the original color looks to be a type of red.

ya thats what I ment Western not Indain. My mistake.

Yes they were, Stuart.

Looks like all that clean livin` finally paid off for you. Nice score.

I used to have one. As I recall the color was a darker red that the one used in this restoration but still a great job.

I have one with the post stand that the round part clamps to. It has remnents of black paint on it. I have seen western chiefs that had a dark brick red on them also. I would say if you are not going for a "perfect" restore then any paint scheme you want. I am planning to do black on the post and red on the blower once I get my smithy built this summer.
