a 1956 TO35 should be painted
Beige hood fenders, with gray body.
however, 1956 was a odd year, it is said some early 1956 year units were painted Beige hood fenders with hold over green body paint.

I have a 1957 TO35 serial number 174616
but the original owners manual that came with out tractor shows a Beige and Green tractor on the front cover, the chrome Ferguson name plates on the manual show green background and the manual is dated 1956.

so I do believe, some units in 1956 may have been painted Beige and Green, if so these units might have a bit more value.
I do not know at what serial number they ran out of green body paint and started painting the bodies gray,
have also heard that late 1957 models were painted with red hood and fenders paint, again who knows.
they painted anything any color so they could sell tractors.
Just interesting.

Can you find any original paint on it? Take the hose off the breather under hood and see if you can find any paint under hose.May be green or flint gray. I have 56 green belly.Try under hood to sand -scrap and see if you can see different colors. In 1958 the TO 35 color was red and flint gray and built as Ferguson until 1960 when it became a MF 35. In 1958 all other models were MF.
 
1948jr the early 1956 were Light Grey and Dark Green Metallic same as the 1955 then about middle of May they went to Bamboo Beige and Flint Metallic Grey. However there were some painted Dark Green Metallic but not in any specific serial number group. Looks as they were painted Dark Green only as the dealers ordered them that way.
 
I have found original paint behind the air filter canister, inside hood and grill, inside fan shroud, underneath battery tray to name a few.
 
that was just a general statement of where paint was found.

my two 55's are green as is the 56. all with grey hoods.

the 58 appears to be green too. but I am somewhat certain it is mutt so I am not sure.
