Going to start restoring an Jacobsen Estate mower from the mid 50s. Does anybody know of a paint code to match the original orange from that period? I don't post on this forum but I'm always on the tractor forums. Just taking a chance here. Haven't had much luck on the MyLawnmower forum. Are there any Jacobsen sites you know of?
 
I am thinking there is (or was) a Yahoo group devoted to Jacobsen equipment.

I am also thinking there used to be a website for the 'Lawn and Garden Tractor' magazine. or Vintage Lawn and Garden Tractor' magazine.

It might pay to look there. (Its been years since I saw a copy in Tractor Supply.)
 
I do not have the info, but this brings up a lot of memories, my dad was Jacobsen dealer in the 60s.
 
I was able to find these paint codes for Jacobsen equipment, not sure if they are the correct shade you're looking for, but may help. They are Ditzler/PPG numbers 69916 60459 60816 hope this helps.
 
I was working on a Jacobsen Chief 6 from 1962-64? and I touched up a small place with Van Sickle 458 70, Case Flambeau Red spray can. It was an exact match but my lawn tractor might be faded after all these years. Hard to see, I know, but the lower left corner of the grill.
