MF red colors on UK built tractors.

This has been discussed over and over again, and I am now even more confused.

I heard a long time ago from a MF dealer that the Ferguson red they used in the late 70ties was not the correct color for the MF 35 and 65, but that was the only red they had, so I painted my MF 65 with that red color.

Later I have heard the same, and also that the first 100 series tractors had the same color as the MF 35 and 65, but it was later changed.
Others again says that all 100 series tractors had MF Super red, and not the red used on MF 35 and 65.
Then I get the film Massey Ferguson 1956 to 1976 by Mike Thorne who owns the Coldridge Collection, and it seems to me that the MF 35 and 65 has the same color as his MF 135 and 175.
So, I called Mike Thorne yesterday and asked him about this, and he tells me that he has been told by some in the MF system that there have only been 1 red MF color for that time.

So, now I am really confused.... very confused.

Well thats another poor rumour of Ford propoganda. Fords engineers DID NOT do any redesigning of the Ferguson system!! They were installed in their tractors, but that was it!! Again Ford trying to take credit for something else they did not do!! ( Just like the assembly line, that was Ransom E Olds, not Henry Ford!! )

Take care,

Will
