Wengers 35 Picture

Anyone have a picture of the TO35 on show floor at Wengers? The one that has under one hr. on meter. I've seen it and think Sam posted it. Can't find it.

Thanks

I posted a few awhile back. if you can't find them I will post them again.

Here you are Micky, any particular part you want to see?
Sam

Great here Sam. How are things with you? Trying to get the paint right. I just want to be sure. The original paint looks a little different than PPG on FENA.

Thanks

Green paint, Sam.

I posted the paint on your post below, Micky.....Here it is again...
Things are real busy here trying to finish up my hedgecutting before the 1st March deadline, when the birds start building! Don't tell anyone in the EEC but they are building already! AND don't go listening to Tony about colour....He has shares in Rustoleum!!!

here's A couple more

Looking at the pictures s19438 posted below I noticed the two different colors on steering arm and the battery box where the regulator is bolted. The battery box is the color on my tractor that was under dash. Also if you look at the spark plugs in s19438 picture there is green paint on them. The paint code from FENA I painted with today is the same as the steering arm. May question is-Could this tractor have been painted during the 50 yrs it has been setting and has the wrong paint. Guess I'm riding the horse to death but just trying to get it right.

I looked at the pics and I think it is the flash of the camera causing it to look different plus the fact that paint will look different when it is sprayed on a piece of sheet metal verses a piece of rough cast steel. The paint can not lay down on rough cast because of the texture. I think you want the definitive answer on the correct shade of green but there probably isn't one. You could probably line up 10 of those tractors that were original and the shades of green would vary from each other. The shades would vary depending on which manufacturer supplied the paint,who mixed the paint,who sprayed the paint,the air pressure it was sprayed at,and how dark the red oxide primer was underneath the paint. I've been into the auto body business for over 20 years now and all of the above will change the color especially when their is a metallic or pearl in the color. Remember a while back I was searching for the right shade of Ferguson gray? I used the codes from FENA and PPG's code had no blue in the paint but Sherwin Williams code for Ferguson Gray did have blue in it and that was the shade I remembered as a kid and I went with that. I do know Sherwin Williams was an original supplier of paint to Ferguson. Try their code and see if you like it better.

I would say the green paint on the spark plugs is original. I would say that just capped the porcelain off and sprayed the tractor. That usually the way they worked back then. When building and painting concours engines for Mustangs we had to spray the exhaust manifolds,oil filter,etc...because that's how it was done when they came down the assembly line.

Cool daddy-o! I remember seeing '60's Pontiacs and Buicks this color!! neato keen!
What the dickens eh? That don't look like pearl, that's looks like muscle car metal flake! You want me to send that pallet of Dollar Store green spray cans now??

Miner, is that metallic flake or an optical illusion. It looks nice but I don't imagine there was any metallic in the paint originally.

The original paint I had tested had metallic in it. I used the code from FENA-DuPont Dark Metallic Green. It looks different in the sunlight.
