[Farmall] Cultivator Colors

[john hall]

Kevin, I agree with you leaving the rims as is. I doubt it but who knows, 
maybe the dealer decided to paint the rims before it was sold? On a family 
tractor, I'm all for keeping it like it was. You are more about keeping it 
like everyone in the family remembers it than anything else.

One thing I have noticed following this thread, it still takes quite a bit 
of educated guessing/detective work to decide what to paint some of the old 
IH equipment. Just go to any tractor show with a bunch of OLD IH and see the 
different shades of gray paint! Just recently I found out that there are 3 
different whites used on Cub Cadets (including the new ones).
