M Farmall color

[yasdnil]

I have a mid '40s M which appears to have originally been painted yellow. Overcoated years ago with red. I'm restoring and wish to paint it correctly. Is there any way to determine if in fact this was a factory paint job? Don't kow history of tractor, but I purchased it from a fellow who says it was used commercially in construction.

it could be an ag tractor painted yellow or an industrial that was painted yellow when built. if the hood emblem says "international" instead of farmall, its definitely an industrial. here is a picture of an industrial m from an old red power magazine i had. it has the international badge on the bonnett and also this one has non adjustable rear axles like the w series. hope this helps
