Farmall - Red/Blue/Black

The lifter arms for the impliments on mine were blue and I bought some "Ford Blue" at Tractor Supply thinking it was a close match. Then I got to wondering if it was and that maybe the "Old Ford Blue" they had would be closer, it was a lighter color blue. Any Ideas?

Also the gang arms, clamps, spring tips, shovels, were all painted black, at least on mine. Flat black or gloss?

The sweeps I know they say were varnished but I'll paint them black and I guess the hillers and plant protectors as well.

You know you think you have it all planned out and know just what color to paint everything until the final moment and you you second guess your choices.

"Harvester Cream" records have been lost thru the yrs, but color on grill on IH 560 is close match.

I used black gloss on my Little Genius plow and I think it looks real sharp.

An old IH color chart (and which parts get which color) can be seen by searching "Wisconsin Historical Society". IH people gave all the old files and data to the Wi. Hist. Soc. years ago.

If you want to see the colors on my plow, send me an email and I'll send some pictures.
