What is the correct name for the ivory color on the 4000 HD Industrial? Also who sells it? Thanks

Ford called it Buff.
I don't know who makes it.
I mixed my own.
I used Valspar Tractor and Implement Enamel.
I bought a gallon of International Harvester White and a quart of John Deere Yellow and mixed them at a 4 to 1 ratio. Added their hardener.
Mine is a little darker (more yellow) than it should be but I'm not unhappy with it.
If you mixed a ratio of about 4 1/2 to 1 you would be pretty close to original.
Cheapest place to buy Valspar is on Amazon. If you have a prime account it's free shipping.
I've been happy with their paint.
If you want fancier paint maybe someone else here knows.

It truly depends on what year your tractor is
Early buff and red
Late buff and blue

Like fordfarming said it depends on the year.

Pre 65 used a buff color
Others have used PPG 81339 mango gold
Its more of a beige tint than the post 65 tractors

Post 65 used a yellower color
Others have used PPG 82520A San Morino Yellow

I think the late 70's is even a different (darker) yellow.
