I have an old Gibson Model A tractor that I would like to restore. The tractor appeared to have been painted orange or rust color when it was built. Does anyone know if some old Gibson tractors were painted this color, orange or rust color. This tractor does not appear to ever be painted any other color. Any help on the proper orange or rust color would be appreciated.

I have a old Gibson, don't know the Model number. When I
purchased it, it was what I would call a Burnt Orange in color.

Thanks for the response. It sounds like the same color that is on the Gibson tractor that I have. The websites associated with Gibson tractors do not identify this as a color that was applied when the tractor was built. However, it appears that the tractor was never painted another color. Do you know of the official color paint to reproduce the burnt orange paint?
Various 'orange' colors applied as a OSHA or Transportation dept requirement- 'safety orange' to a neon pink/high visibility orange/reflective orange- and this at times on John Deeres. Check prior owner history if you can and might find it was a parks dept lawnmower or a road mower, contractors tractor that sometime did something for a city, state or a federal contractors job and the safety rules required the 'safety orange'. Industrial Yellow is the next 'odd' color for some tractors- JD and IHC look like went through Molines paint line. RN
