Was this FoMoCo block letter font logo used in the 70's or 80's? Was it only industrial tractors?

Dogman-
That is on the handle of a grease gun I bought years ago on ebay. I believe the seller had it listed as for an Industrial Tractor model. I don't buy it, would've used only one model for tractors, one for cars, etc. However, I know there were two different grease guns in service at one time for the 8N Tractor. The 59C-17125 Grease Gun was used in the 2N-17003 Shipping Parts Kits up thru April, 1950. In September, 1947, two months after the 8N Tractor was released, Ford/Dearborn offered the 8N-17125-A Grease Gun which was a BALCRANK unit, shown in the Dearborn Accessory Catalog.

A also need to find the correct Ford Blue paint. I have a can of TISCO FORD EMPIRE BLUE, but it is too light. I need the shade that early Thousand Series tractors were, a darker blue.

It's not the same one Steve. Yeah, I knew that info already. In April 1949, the logo on two Ford tools changed from the FORD script to the oval FoMoCo logo as shown in your link. The plow wrench and spark plug wrench changed but no idea why the other ones didn't.

I agree.

Empire blue is not correct for 63-64 thousand series Ford tractors.

I too have not been able to definitively find such paint.

I was looking on CL and saw this in an ad.

I rotated the photo 90? Shows that logo on a 3000.

Cluck here
 
I purchased a grease gun from the Ford tractor dealer with exact same logo.
This was 1970 or a little later. It is my main grease gun to this day,ran a few 5 gallon pails of grease through it.
 
"By the way, what a goofed up description of a tractor."

That may be the understatement of the year! Wow.
 
What is the part number on it? It should be EAPN-17125. What is the manufacturer name on it? Does it have a flexible rubber hose or solid steel tube? Can you post or send me good pictures? Thanks.

Correction. If the unit was produced in the 70's the UPC code prefix would be a letter "D" not an "E". FORD UPC system decreed part prefix codes as:

A = 1940
B = 1950
C = 1960
D = 1970
E = 1980
F = 1990

Tim, Mine came with metal pipe. I added 2 length of hose .
I will look at mine for #s and get back to you.
 
It was used on the cars/truck parts in the early 1960's. Dad bought new brakes for the 51 pickup, the box had the fomoco lable on it, the 1965 galaxy 500xl dad bought new had that in the owners Manuel.
 
Mine has no numbers that I can find. Mine does have instructions on how to insert grease tube stamped into the barrel. Have you looked at ebay. There is one there and it has a bunch of info. By some of the numbers it might be built by Lincoln.
