I've heard many comments on the 300 series, and how they are all red and the 50 series whith the white side and grille. Recently, a comment was made that the very early 300's were all red and that the later ones had the white trim. What is correct, and how do we know this? Incidently, when we bought this tractor for restoration, it did have white trim, but we assumed it was incorrect. Now, we are really uncertain. Also, what color does the dash plate go? Thanks Larry [Reply]   [No Email]

I think the IH dealers have the grey dash paint. [Reply]  [No Email]

It is similar to what happened with the 9N/2N tractors after the 8N came out. The all gray tractors looked a little plain next to the two tone 8N so a lot of dealerships painted their old inventory to match the newer tractor and a lot of 2N/9N tractors ended up red and gray.

Don"t know for sure if the colors are correct for the year, but it doesn"t seem to change the way it runs. JMHO [Reply]  [No Email]

Some unsold 300/400's had the white added after the 350's and 450's came out, in order to match the 350 and 450. They did NOT come that way from the factory. Dash plate was grey, I don't know the code. [Reply]  [No Email]
