I just bought an old IH pull-type one-bottom plow; has rubber tires on spoke wheels and a steel rear wheel. I'm getting it home Friday. I would like to restore it correctly with the proper paint colors. Can anyone tell me where I can find information on which components are painted what color? I've owned a few #8 2 and 3 bottom plows in the past, and this plow looks essentially similar to them. So am assuming it is the usual mixture of red, blue, and a buff color for the wheels?

Bluehorse,
I displayed my newly painted #8 plow on this forum on 7-15-13.
I titled the pictures "In it's Sunday go to meetin' clothes". Hopefully you can bring the pictures up, or someone here might do it for you and I.
I researched the colors with the old IH archives.
NAPA #53 3736A is a blue that is a dead match for the old IH blue (there are other brand matches as well). The records for the cream color of the wheels have been lost thru the years, I ended up using IH #935 White (cream color) which I think is the same as on the hood of a 560 tractor. That color is very close to what I saw years ago on plow wheels.
Black goes on the hitch and coulter arms, only.
Hope the pictures are of a big help to you.

LA in Wisconsin, many thanks for the information. I was able to see the pictures thanks to the person in the UK who provided them. Your plow is beautiful! Your data and the pictures will be of invaluable help to me in getting the one-bottom restored. I'll try to get pictures of it on here after I get it home.
Like you, I spent many hours as a youth plowing with a #8 behind a Super H Farmall. Great memories of a simpler time.
