LA international paint code

[Richard Naessen]

I have a International LA ser#LA9013 made in 1935 and can't find the proper paint color and code. It appears to be mostly Grey with red fly wheels. The fly wheels may have been replace from a later model. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Richard

Your 1935 LA should be grey with an International Red flywheel. I have an original LA with 90% of its original paint. The grey is an odd medium grey with a slightly greenish tint. I've never seen a match and I've never tried to have any mixed. It is lighter than the dark grey people put on their early tractors. If you look at 6M John's website, http://www.oldengine.org/members/ham...tthebutton.htm,
I think you will find the original IHC letter from the paint committee.

You can use DuPont 98626 gray with an IHC red flywheel. Hereby the paint letter from the factory.
