351 color

I know this has been discussed before but am not finding it in the search section. Would a Case 351 still have the Flambeau red or the new power red.
Maybe a more useful question is what year did Case switch?

That would have been flambeau I believe. You could paint it power red too though. It is very hard to see any difference. My VAC is flambeau and my 300 has power red and you cant tell the difference.

I agree they are really close, and those tractors are a different color with every different angle of the sun and cloud.

Here is my 930 I just finished, I painted the shifter plate power red, everything else is
Flambeau, I did it just to show people the difference, I don't care for the power red

yes it is a shade pinker. My brother makes a living painting tractor and says the Case IH power red is way better than the Flambeau offerings as for as paint quality goes. It looks like as rare as a 351 is, I probably should paint it the right color. Do you know the year when they switched?

Switched in 1969 when the 70 series came out.
