Gibson Tractor Model A correct color

pkemp · Dec 12, 2014

I recently purchased a Gibson Model A tractor for restoration and after reviewing all info on the websites, I am struggling with the correct color for the tractor. It appears the tractor was initially painted orange or rust color and all of the notes that are available do not list this as the correct color. When I take it apart, all of the areas are painted the same color. This is an early Model A and I am attempting to determine the correct color to paint it following repair. Any ideas?

the several that I have seen at shows are a bright red maybe black cherry or cherry red and a plain gray like machinery gray not charcoal grey. Happy looking!

I saw this model E at a show earlier this year. I assumed all Gibson models were same paint scheme but do not really know.
