N0. 312 Gold Demo Plow Question

I just brought home yesterday what I believe is an original 312 semi mount fast hitch gold demonstrator plow from around 1960 or so. I know IH had a special sales promotion around that time period where they painted some of their fast hitch plows gold for the dealers to point out their positive attributes. Theres gold paint on every part of the plow,even the back sides of the moldboards and the decals are still just barely readable. About 40% of the plow has gold paint on it yet, otherwise it`s just bare metal and light surface rust, so I don`t think it`s ever been repainted. My question would be if the gold paint code is the same on these plows as it is on the later IH gold demo tractors in 1970 ? Thanks for any input, Mark

That was before the demo tractors so its hard to tell. Dad bought 560 demo with buddy seat and gold 5-14 plow. The buddy seat and plow now belongs to my good friend Wilson Gatewood.His 560 demo and plow was used for the current Ertl model.
 
OK Gene,that`s very interesting! I don`t know Wilson personally, but I do know that of alot of his tractors make it into the IH tractor calenders.He has some really nice tractors. I briefly met him in Waterloo at the IH winter convention and have seen him at Red Powers, but never gotten to sit and chat with him yet .I knew they modeled the toy demo 560 and gold 512 plow after his, but thats really neat to know that your Dad was the original owner.That`s the only 560 I`ve ever seen with a buddy seat on it. I think I`ll do a little more asking around and maybe try and get ahold of Wilson and see what paint codes he used for the 512.Thanks for the reply, Gene.
