Engine paint

Post by Lew Ladwig »

Ok, I'm getting conflicting intel.
Engine: gray including bell housing and mounts. Pretty sure on that.
Transmission: some say gray, some say OD.
Transmission top and shifter: some say gray, some say OD.
Parking brake drum and band: some have an OD band, some gray.
Factory pics in B&W look like all is gray from front mount to parking brake.

Any definitive spec on this?

Hi Lew

In the 3 x WCs I’ve restored a 55 /51 and a 54 on all of them my Ford Tractor Grey stopped At the engine mounts ! Everything rear of that was OD

Hope this helps
