| I am having the hood re-painted on my 9755 Agco Allis, and the guy at the body shop told me to just get the paint for it from Agco dealer (Butler Equipment), and he'd shoot it on for me. For some reason, I was always under the impression that Agco Allis tractors had a different shade of orange on them than the last of the genuine Allis Chalmers tractors that rolled off the line. But the parts man at Butler said that corporate orange is what it called for, and I know that that is what the last Allis Chalmers tractors had on them, also. Is this correct? It really does piss me off, though, that this tractor, being less than 20 years old, should need the hood re-painted. What did they use for paint.......? Water with a little food coloring in it? Thanks, Darrel |

Go look at an IH 88 series. They turned pinkish or purplish shortly after leaving the factory. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

The 9000 and Dt agco tractors were corporate orange. A lot of new tractors fade and look at the cabs of a factory paint 8000 series they are all faded but the hood is not. (Well not as much. Haha.) ------------- ryan 1984 8070 FWA,1979 7060,1975 7040,1971 190,1960 D-17D,1957 D-14, 196? D-19G, 1975 5040,1971? 160,1994 R62 |

so if the first go around faded what makes one think that the second one won't. I would make sure that stuff from AGCO is not the same as other low grade enamels that look sharp when first put on. I would go with a single stage urethane with hardener from an auto paint supplier. |

Plus from factory they probably put the thinnest coat of paint they can on it. ------------- ryan 1984 8070 FWA,1979 7060,1975 7040,1971 190,1960 D-17D,1957 D-14, 196? D-19G, 1975 5040,1971? 160,1994 R62 |

| no matter what paint you use its going to look different than the rest of the tractor just because of fading so you will probably end up painting the whole thing |

I lot of the fading is a result of the EPA restricting emissions from some types of paints. Automotive manufacturers were forced to go to water based paints. The results can be seen in peeling paint on late 80's an early 90's cars. A good automotive acrylic enamel with hardener will hold up well also. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift.

| The hood is the only thing painted orange on this tractor. The rest of the orange stuff? (Fenders and roof top) are orange plastic. Some armour all, or something of that nature should bring back the shine in those pieces. Darrel |
