Paint on 1930 Farmall Regular

I understand the Gray paint. The question I have are the wheels.
Were the wheels painted Gray also or Farmall Red?

The wheels are red.

I believe the drawbar was gray.

The grey was paint from Navy Surplus according to an old timer I talked to in Ohio, and varied in color from barrel to barrel. I don't know the exact red used on the wheels, but all I have seen restored used IH Red and look just fine. My dad said he thought the wheel color back then was a little on the orange side of red, but as I said I am not sure. When I did mine, I hated the grey and used high gloss black instead, not original, but I think it looks sharp. When you get done the only opinion that counts is your's. Good luck!

I am really sorry, I just noticed the picture I posted of the grey tractor was copyrighted. I apologize to any and all, I was just trying to show the colors.

So you think that for years I-H used surplus grey paint from the navy. Now that guy who told you that did he also believe in the tooth fairy.
