I have a TO-20, 1950 era. The paint color on the machine does not match up with any of the colors that are said to be right for the Ferguson. i,e, Ferguson Gray, Rust-oleum smoke-gray, napa 99L3740. The paint has a olive or green tint to it. This color is even inside the air cleaner cover. There is a gray color under this odd ball color, but I think that is the primer color????? ?Open for discussion and an education. Dick

From the research I've done the grey came from military surplus Battleship paint. These paints were not uniform enough to say that any one color is right. The easiest to get in a quality paint would be the NAPA listed on the previous messages.

My 1948 TO 20 looks to have been painted Ford red at one time. I would almost bet that they have been painted about every tractor color there is, plus a few more. If you look to the left of this forum you should see Paint Codes under Research & Info. That should help.

I think NAPA 99L3740 is very close to being correct. Not sure why you have the other color on top. Sounds a little like the 8N-NAA Ford grey, which might be said to have a slight olive tint. I agree it seems odd it would be inside air cleaner, but not impossible. Don't know what else to say.

Is that NAPA paint heat proof enough to do the engine with?

Have been doing some more grinding the tractor. On the fenders and rear wheel disc`s I have found four colors. The gray, Sherman-Williams overhaul, which is sprayed over grease and all. The odd ball color I first posted about. Then a gray, which may or may not be primer. Then a red color.The red first coat is not found on all parts checked so far. Maybe I should just paint the thing Rust-oleum Smoke-Gray and call it good. Thanks all for your in put. Frank Do not know about NAPA and heat. Dick.

Dick,

I just had a rollbar welded onto the Ferguson. It looked rough so I sprayed it with rustoleum grey paint (not primer). Darn if I could tell any difference in the two colours. I even did a little quick touch up with the rustoleum and couldn't really tell where I had sprayed.

Went to the antique tractor pull at Symco, Wi. last saturday. talked to a fellow with an 8-N, which was painted Ford medium gray. the color was a real good match with the color of my fergie.????? Who ever did the paint job, did a real good job, as far as detail went. Now I am taking small parts to work, sand blasting them, and painting them Rust-oleum Smoke gray. Right or wrong, it will be Smoke Gray. And I will not paint over the grease and crud. Dick
