I know this question gets old but...
I was ready to order a gallon of case/ih 2150 for my 1959 560...
... then was reminded that I can only get it through a dealer, and I don't have one anywhere near me.
So - I got to trying to figure out what PPG paint code is... which led me to a seemingly well thought out site that lists farmalls colors and equivelant paint colors...
According to that page:
older tractors used the #50 paint - check, knew that
"newer" tractors used the #2150 paint - check, knew that
but in between - from 1956 to 1961 they used #201 paint, which I've never heard of. They note that it's "apparently" the same as #50
so - is that accurate?
Should I be using #50 on a 59 560?
In other places I read that all 560's should use 2150... but you know how this goes, everybody's got an opinion.
Does anybody KNOW what is proper for this tractor?
This is a working tractor, and I don't NEED to be "proper" - and I know I can paint it any color I'd like - but I'm buying paint either way, so I might as well buy the right one.
Final question - any opinions on the case/ih paint vs. PPG omni paint? I can't spend a lot on this tractor, but I want a decent finish. I might be able to have a case/ih dealer ship it if need be.
Thanks
