Would anyone out there know the original paint colors for the Ferguson TO 30 tractor? I think it was a form of gray, but not sure. Also, if anyone knows where to get the paint?

The original color was machine gray for everything except the starter, and generator, which were black. I think I also heard the rear wheel rims were originally silver from the factory. Most restored "show" tractors I see - everything is painted gray.

Also heard guys say the color matching back them wasn't to good... or to important maybe, and there was some variation in shades of gray. Which gets into the debate of what is the "right" shade of gray.

I repainted my Fergy last Winter, used TSC line of tractor paint, the color is called "Massey Gray". Also used the hardener they sell for the tractor paints. Looks great! They sell rattle cans too for touch-up or small parts.
That NAPA color Pat mentioned I'm sure is good too, I have that part number written down in my little black book too.

Word of advise, from my experience, use gray primer not red primer! Any chips or scratches show that red primer real easy. Here's a pic of my tractor... don't look at the fenders... haven't painted those yet.

There's been lots of discussion on TO-30 Paint. Take a look at the restoration forum for a lot of good info. I've used rattlecan smoke gray for small parts, but the NAPA formula # 99L3740 is recommended for the big paint job. Thank Albert for his post on 2/10/2000.
