If I remember correctly an F40 was a Cream color hood and fenders with 
the rest being grey.  I have seen 3 in my short 65 years, and 2 were the 
cream color and the other was red & grey.

I’ve run into several but….most of the time it is a good resource. He has got to be entering data into his database on tractors he has no personal experience with and is totally dependent on the source’s accuracy.  And then of course typo’s sneak in.   It is another web resource that is good but cannot be used as being 100% accurate.  Even the “experts” make errors such as the tractors sold in the US by Ford with the Ferguson System starting in 1939 were called “Fergusons”.  Depends if you have a European bias or not I guess.
