we draged home a ferguson te 20 sieral no. 39427 with the std motor . can any one tell me the proper paint scheme ans what size tires should be on the front some has put 15 in on
 

Either 16 x6 or 19 x 4 inch front tyres were fitted at the factory . Rears were 28 x10 .
Many have 11.4 x28 fitted at the rear , these are a bit too high and make them look like a dragster .

Paint is easy , Grey or if you like Grey or Gray . Everything including the generator and starter as well . Take the steering turret off the dash and match the unfaded paint you find there .

The paint is simple, but first a little thing. When having a Standard petrol engine it is supposed to be a TEA 20. If the dashboard says TE 20, then there is a mismatch somewhere. It is either a replaced steering box, or someone has replaced the engine at some point.

Back to the paint. It is supposed to be Ferguson Battleship grey, every single bit of it, except, the Ferguson badge could have been blue on the bottom between the letters.
Does not have to be, but some had.
Other than that, grey, and today you can get the grey from any MF dealer, as Ferguson Vintage Grey I think they call it.

As said, tyres in the front where 4x19 as standard with 6x16 as option. Tyre in the rear was 10x28, but here is a little funny thing.
In the old days the tyre was called 10x28, and today that is 11.2x28. Then the Ferguson 35 diesel had 11x28, still the old days way of putting it, while that tyre today is 12.4x28.
So, some people say they want an 11x28 but mean 11.2x28, and get a 12.4x28 which really is an 11x28. Go figure, why make it easy when you can make it soooooo much more difficult. That .2 has caused many Grey Fergusons to come home with a set of a little larger tyres.

As everyone has said paint it grey...except for the chrome...throttle lever, gear knob, steering shaft washer and nut, levelling box lever and front badge....as Bill said, do the background of this badge light blue. Distributer and carb were not
painted.....
