Hello,Ben empire blue is what I painted by 1961 Super Major!!! I know that is correct!! If you look back through the old posts you will find this subject and I think you will also find the correct paint code and part numbers there too!!! Good luck and post a photo when paint finished!!
Best Regards
Mac

Hello,Ben very very nice job!!! She is a real beauty and she also is the right color of blue. I think I saw photos of your tractors about a year ago on a web site where you were working on the MF35 and the little Fergie was apart setting in the tractor shed and there was a photo of the Major setting looking very pretty at the end of your drive??? Am I right about this?? I have a 1961 Super Major that is almost as good looking as your old Gal!!!
This is not the photo I thought I was posting put at least it is on the post!! He He
Kind Regards
Mac

Hello,Ben I found her sitting in a barn with a broken crankshaft and a broken camshaft!! She was real straight and only need a good blasting and paint!! A friend helped me out with the paint and I did the engine and clutch!! She is a 1961 Super Major. And we still do a little work cutting and hauling wood!! Also a little snow plowing in the winter. I have an original Ford angle from the drivers seat back blade!! and a big 3 point boom for lifting logs!! I to like it on the big rear tires!!

Kind Regards
Mac
