I have what appears to be a 1920 fordson F tractor,and was wondering about the color. Mine is orange and I didnt think this was a stock color but its hard to believe someone painted it because there is no other color underneath the orange and there is paint where it seems would have been difficult to get to. Also when looking at the vendors I see that a Fordson orange paint is offered? Thanks in advance

I painted mine gray with red wheels , official color was machinery gray with bright red wheels sr 253552 thru 365191 for 1920 thru 23 yrs.

What I was told is the Irish built Fordson's were blue with orange wheels. Between what years I do not know.

Ken, your Fordson is most likely an Irish Fordson, built in Cork, Ireland and orange would be the correct and original color. I think when production was moved from Cork, Ireland, to Dagenham, England, is when they because blue with orange wheels, though I'm no expert on this.

To date your tractor via serial number, you can visit " thefordsonhouse.com" and click on the dating chart. It lists the years by serial number and country of manufacture.

Thanks for posting the web site. It was suggested to me today, but slipped my mind.

Could it have been an industrial or State owned tractor. Many of those were painted in different colors, orange and yellow were popular. Just a WAG Dave
