Also -- is the formula he has for the alkyd enamel used at that time? That is not very good paint. Or did he covert it to acrylic enamel or something better? The formulas for the same color in different types of paint differ. The quality of the paint makes less difference if the tractor is inside most of the time as I assume it will be. BUT, I don't think alkyd enamel was available in 1930 (not sure)-- if it came from the 40's, then it may not be the same color but one that IH used as a replacement for the original color, much like IH 2150 is considered by CaseIH to be a replacement for the three reds that preceded it. So, I agree you should just use the DuPont formula, although I doubt if your 22-36 had a blue tint. As I have said before, I am out of my comfort zone with tractors older than the letter series, however I don't think you are ever going to find the original color, because of the age, and because IH was probably not too concerned if their paint varied from one batch to another or from one series of tractors to another. As an example the letter series tractors changed shades in 1949, in the middle of a production run. The hundred series changed shades in 1961, again in the middle of a production run. In 1930, I don't think anything was certain or consistent, thus the variety of shades of gray.

As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
