Mta Tractor

Old tractor question-what year (years) did Farmall paint the tractors blue? What was the reason for this?

I seen a blue Farmall M or MTA at a tractor pull this past summer. I asked my uncle why the owner painted it blue and he said the tractor was bought new with the blue paint and the owner restored it the same. Was it in all the models or just a few?
I’m just curious and thanks for your time.

Well I found this interesting discussion of the same.

And I found another website you can use to research tractor colors

http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/libraryarchives/ihc/paint/results.asp?implements=Tractors&B1=Submit

From what I read, the color before red was “deep green gray.”

The same memo said that they would produce other colors for special orders such as municipalities or utilities, but the paint had to meet the same standard. Kinda fun to flip back through all the history.
