New Holland Red

Tall T · Jan 7, 2015

Sorry, but i answered my own question after a little searching around online. I've chosen to go with International red for my Ford Jube's red pants.

. . . the local Valspar rep said they could supply me with my choice of red as a brush on rather than like the Valspar Ford Grey Polyurethane with hardener-type that I just painted my rear rims with.

. . . I do have a '54 International 2 ton truck so maybe I won't be ostracized from the Ford community.

I've seen quite a few red belly Fords repainted with the IH 2150 red. They all looked very good.

Thanks Bickle and Rusty,

Here's my tractor now. I restored the rear Hat rims last summer. They are oddball rims as someone in the past widened them to take 13" tires.

PO painted the fronts a bright white. I think I have enough Valspar ford Grey to do them over. I'll post a rim shot to show the Valspar Ford Grey close up (3 coats) -- blue marine enamel on the insides.

Rusty, does this look like the Ford's you've seen with IH Red?
That's me my Jube, happy as a pig in s*it with the rear wheels finally back on (1st day) . . . and I'm wondering if the previous painters might have used IH Red.

I know they used Ford Grey up top cause I had the hood paint scanned.

Excuse the blurry, but it is just a still from a movie a passer by took. She thought the tractor was sooo purty.

Nice looking tractor. I like the rear rims and tires.

Yes, your Ford looks like what I have seen.

Thanks Rusty,

Good to know. the red is in various stages of fading out.
On the diff and tranny it has a kind of cherry pink color.

ASE,

Thanks! I like the kind of industrial look the wide tires give. Did you catch my run-on saga on the N forum about what a sloppy tire jockey did to my rims getting the rubber off. Here's a shot of some of the damage I had to fix.

I used PPG's single stage on my Troy Bilt tiller
in 2006. Still looks good always sheltered.

I paid $100.00 for the tiller and I sold the Tecumseh engine for $65.00. It needed new tines
and seals under the tine holders. I also installed a new 10hp B&S engine with electric start. Still looks good. Hal

Nice tiller!
I just wish I knew what PPG.

My best guess is a movie rating of double parental guidance.

What shade of red?
Sorry dumb question: "International Red"

How about this, made by General Paint I think?

Searching: Pittsburgh Paint … implement paint . . .

Thanks,
