i have painted two of them using paint colors formulated by Sherwin Williams and a team of MM gurus. These paints were available through SW and Stamm tractors which can be found on the interwebs. After all that those paint jobs are 15 years old and I still get a lot of compliments on how they look. I used the polyurethane blends which are pretty eas to work with.
The last time I talked with Kelly Stamm they were trying to find a new paint mixer and I’m assuming SW can still mix some up if you have a SW automotive paint store any where in your country. Good luck

MMcollectors .org site even admits most folks use the PG2, DAR 60039.
PG1, DAR 60098X. The more yellow paint. Both no longer exist, I believe. Hope I'm wrong.
Funky, I think I could go to the fleet store and get paint but you're in the UK.
What a bugger.

Your tractor would have originally been painted Prairie Gold 2

1943 ws PG1

I stand corrected, PG 1 would be the correct color, although there are almost no pre 1948 tractors restored with PG1 mainly because it wasn't widely known what PG1 actually looked like or when it was used.
