I think it was Allis Chalmers Orange until 1948 and then it went to Persian Orange #1 until 1960 and then it went to Persian Orange #2.

tractors prior to 1960 were all PO #1. Of course it was not called #1, untill there was a #2 so at FIRST it was just called PO. The D series up till early 70s was called PO2 and is more reddish color. Last color was Corporate Orange which was even more red.
Jeff, Do you know if the switch to PO#1 was for all 1948 AC ag. tractors? My C will be painted this winter and I wanted to do it right. Also have you ever heard of AC lovers that painted their tractors Case orange due to it flowing better and looking very close to AC orange?
Thanks Gerard

Paint on these tractors is a mystery.
I have never found a source that knows all the colors and years for sure.
One source I have says the first orange used was this one:
Allis-Chalmers Dupont Dulux 008 for a match
1929-1948 Models 25-40, United, U, All-Crop, UC, WC, WF, A, B, RC, C
1949 through 1960 Dupont 29047 for a match
so called Persian Orange 1
1961 0n PPG 60396 for a match so called Persian Orange 2.
There was also another orange called Corporate Orange for the heavy equipment.
Who really knows????
If it was mine I would find a Persian Orange 1 and Paint it.

Jeff,
DuPont 008 is no longer a valid code and Dulux alkyd enamel hasn't been available for years. When I was researching the early persian orange (#1) color for my '42B, I found that the 29047 in DuPont had too much red in it for a decent match to the original shade. It's much more like PPG's 60396, sometimes called persian orange #2, used much later, circa 1960. I have found that PPG's 60080 is the best match for that early persian orange, used on ALL Bs & Cs. In DuPont, the closest match I have seen is YS074. The 60080 and YS074 colors are a pumpkin shade or orange, as was the original color. Here's a sample of 60080 and 60396 as compared to the original:
There are some actual sprayout samples of a few different codes for persian orange in the paint and body work forum, courtesy of Jason (ma). A search should bring them up or I can link to if desired. Most seem to settle on 60080 as the best choice if one wants to be as close to original as possible.

Rod(NH); 60080, does this paint have the nasties that one should use a fresh source of breathable air? Just debating whether to paint my '55 CA, now she is in her tobacco shed work clothes - second owner. Thanks in advance for your input.
