What is the correct color scheme on a 1949 8N? Is it all grey or red belly?

HFJ · Aug 18, 2020

all 8Ns came as red bellies.

All 8N's and later Hundred Series Models were painted Ford Vermillion (Red)p/n M-2822; and the lighter Ford Medium Grey, p/n M-13243. A rule of thumb is all cast iron parts are red and all sheet metal parts are med grey. The term 'redbelly' was never labeled that by FORD -it was a term invented by farmers initially. Best brands that are as original as you will find are the TISCO IHC-TP-110, yes, not any Ford shade -those are too orangey, and the TISCO TP-240 MED GREY. CNH Irongard is a close 2nd. MPC's are an essential tool to own.

1948 FORD 8N TRACTOR, RESTORED; TIM DALEY -OWNER/OPERATOR:

FORD TRACTOR TISCO PAINT SHADES:

9N/2N = TISCO M2888

8N = FORD VERMILLION (RED)M-2822 - TISCO IH TP110 CLOSEST MATCH

8N (AND UP) = FORD MEDIUM GREY TISCO TP-13243

8N (AND UP) = *CNH IRON-GARD© ®™ M1J-957 SE4DS

*NOTE: CNH brand says used '39/62' but that isn't right. This is the FORD MEDIUM GREY and not used on the 39-47 Models. CNH no longer makes a Ford M2888 Dark Grey shade.

Thanks, nice looking tractor. I like the single rib front tires and the closed traction center rears.
