I have a 650 Ford that has been in my family since it was 10 yrs. old. It appears to have been originally painted blue and grey. Is there any reason that Ford would have switched the normal red for blue?

Someone painted it before you got it. In 65-67 (ten years after your 650) the tractors were blue, so perhaps someone thought they should modernize it?
At any rate it should be red and buff...

(quoted from post at 04:45:43 07/16/13) Dealers offen painted their trade-ins to look like the newer models for an easier faster sale and if it had a loader/backhoe on it it got painted yellow to look like the later construction industrial models.

Not to quibble with you here but Ford Did have a color they called Buff.
It was a light yellow that was used on their utilities and industrials.

Nice pictures Ultradog!
That's kind of like someone said to me last week, "I don't mean to be argumentative"...and then went ahead and argued their point.
(just having a little fun this AM...really do appreciate your insight)What is the correct name for the colors on the hundred and 01 series? And, as long as I am asking, where can a guy find paint codes?

CBrown, I have both a 900 and a 901 they are both red and gray like the 8n and all three are very different, and you see an awful lot of incorrect ones out there. I expect that many are wrong due to getting paint codes. Today every automotive paint store has a digital tester and if you take an unmolested panel in to them they can match your original red and gray. And don't think that Fiat is going to help you. They have no interest in old Fords. They have some of the Reds and some of the grays but not all of them. Here is my 901 which was painted 900 red and 4000 gray when I got it.

Very interesting, and nice pic! Looks like I have some more research to do.
I think my 861 has been painted 3 times. Once by the factory, once blue and now once again red and gray. I would like to repaint, but that is down the road a bit, once I get a few more mechanical things worked out.
