[Farmall] Cultivator Colors

[Jim Becker]

Except that is white and the question was about cream.  Product 
Identification Committee Decision 37 (9/7/56) is the one that said to start 
using a trim color on tractors.  It is the same one that eliminated the 
color cream.

IH generally stayed with silver rims although they might have been bolted to 
a red, white or yellow disk.  When the wheel (rim and center) were a single 
piece, the whole thing would have been a single color.  They were often 
white, for example your 184 and the Cub Cadets.  I think there may have been 
a few bolt-on white rims, but if so they were probably on captive imports. 
I think some of the captive imports had silver disks even with a bolt-on 
rim.

I am reluctant to correct Jim Becker, who know just about everything
there is to know about IH tractors, but I know that my 184 came with "IH
White" rims front and back. But, of course, the 184 isn't a real "farm"
tractor, even though most of the running gear comes from the Farmall Cub.
