27 Farmall Regular paint

As it turned out, the Paint committee of IH decided on February 27, 1927 (Decision #39) to paint the wheels Harvester Red. So, as I have a 27 model, I am good on that...but, here is the kicker...On June 5, 1930, the Paint committee with its Decision 83, decided that "The drawbar only is to be painted red; the brackets and trunnion castings will be painted gray, as in the past." So, here I have a red draw bar, brackets and trunnion castings!!!!! Back to the drawing board.

I have never seen it mentioned on here before and it might be around somewhere, I was given this address where some very interesting stuff is stored.

My projects...I got too many going at once. I have been mainly focusing on the Regular lately. With regard to the H, I have broken the engine down, had the head done, valves ground, seats and valve guides as needed etc. The cam and crank were amaizingly within specks so just had them polished up, wrapped and stored. A tooth was broken off the timing gear but one of the guys on this list sent me one and I am in good shape on that. All the remainder of the parts are broken down, cleaned and stored and ready for rebuild. Have cooked out the block and what I am waiting on at the moment is I am trying to locate 4 servicable 3 7/16 sleeves. The sleeves in the block I got from you were no good when I got them out--the block has checked good. Just having patience on the sleeves cause they will show up sooner or later without spending a fortune. If push comes to shoove, I will purchase new sleeves, pistons and rings in a kit. Hope all is well there. I would like for you to search for Elkfarmer on this site and look at his H restoration.
