Back in the 1970's all the 2150 red paint used at FARMALL came from Moline Paint Mfg. Most of it came in 325 gallon totes. The other colors like 935 white and the semi-gloss black, and 483 Federal yellow came either in 55 gal drums or 5 gal pails mostly from MPM. There was a Valspar paint plant on Rt 84 on the north side of East Moline, might have been considered Hampton. Looks like now MPM has been bought up by Valspar. I did release paint occasionally from Valspar back in the 1970's. MPM sent their salesman into the plant, he went around to all the storage areas in the plant and inventoried everything, talked to the paint supervisor and they created a release list for paint for the week. On his way out he would give me the list to call in and the salesman went back to his plant and made sure it was shipped. The 5x88 series and the 3x88 2wd had all their red sheetmetal painted with Farmall's new E-Coat paint system, 20,000 gallon swimming pool filled with red Sherwin-Williams paint. Supposedly it was described as being a "Cleaner Red", looked like it had an orangish tint to it next to MPM's 2150 red. And if it got weathered it really turned orange, just like the WW#2 H's & M's did. Even some of the late 86-series had e-coated sheetmetal, probably those built the last 3-4 months. The cabs built at the East Moline Plant and any other part painted by the supplier, like the Elwood FWA axles all used MPM 2150 red.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
