Is there anyone that can tell me the proper color for the rear rims on my Farmall 300 and a supplier for that paint. When i painted my Farmall 300 i painted it aluminum silver. I don't care for the way it looks.
Thank You

The Wisconsin Historical Society has a large volume of information (some online) from the McCormick-International Harvester Company.

This link goes to the memo from the Paint Committee color decisions for the 1957 model year (and forward until changed).

Poke around the Archives...who knows what you might find.

The Historical site does not list rim color codes, as the rims were from outside suppliers and IH only specified corrosion resistance. The wheels in that particular link are implement wheels, which far as I know, IH did paint.

The "silver argent" from your IH dealer looks nice. They were originally galvanized, and not painted.

The "Galvanized" statement is incoccect for that time period tractor- some where, some weren't dependant on the rim manufacturer

Guy, I have an Interational 460 Hi Utility with galvanized rims. They were changed sometime about then -- possibly both were used?

Hate to argue, but you contradicted yourself.

If "some were," then galvanized IS correct for that time period tractor. It's galvanized OR ....

Now you fill in after the OR... Since most people don't pull the rims off to have them re-galvanized (is that even possible?), the paint color some suppliers used would be more than adequate to make the tractor look "right."
