He is thinking the tractors underpart color was a deep green and then the seat and lights and fenders, etc. were a light gray color, but he isn't sure, and wants to do it like it was when new. Anyway, the reason I'm posting is he is pretty much illiterate when it comes to computers! Anyway if you can give him any help it would sure be appreciated. A picture would also be great! Thanks!

Someone took great pains to make this one red and grey. [Reply]  [No Email]

The seat bucket is grey but the bracket is green. The fender brackets/frames are also green. My photo are not great as I was taking pics for my own restorations and was only looking for what was zinc plated or NOT painted! I can post more pics if you like. Sam Ps the tractor is in the showroom/store of Wengers of Meyerstown PA [Reply]  [No Email]

Samn40, the pics are great. Where is Meyerstown exactly? We are located in Sidman, PA, which is close to Johnstown. [Reply]  [No Email]

And yes there is light grey under all the others. Seems the castings were green that year, and anything sheet metal was gray. I was wondering about the seat hinge, but that was gray too. I guess this tractor was a big hit that year, they made thousands, and there are still thousands out there... [Reply]  [No Email]

The seat is painted the same gray color as the hood and fenders, the body was painted green. I have a 1957 Fergy TO-35 is was painted cream color: hood, fenders and seat, the body of the tractor was painted grey. Fergy folks must have been on the stuff back then: as it seemed they painted each year a different color. [Reply]  [No Email]
