Colors for repainting \'47 Harrey Fergison TO-20?

As mentioned in past posts, I'm tring to spiff up an old HF TO-20. After I get the hydrolic lift fixed via SoundGuy's advice, I want to repaint the Hood, fenders and wheels. Hey, you gota leave the engine & tranny for the birth-day boy!

So question of the week, what colors are orginal? As of now, hood and wheels are red(pink realy due to fading). Fenders are a very light grey. The engine and tranny are more like a silver/gray.

This is going to be so much fun to present this BACK to my buddy, in working order and all shinny. Planning on towing the tractor on a rental trailor fron S. Indiana to just North of Orlando. Exactly 1000 miles.

I had a TO-30 and as I recall it was all originally Ferguson gray. Not the metallic gray that went with the red on the later tractors more like a battleship gray.Hope this helps.

I have a TO-20 also. NAPA has a match for the original color, but I can't remember the number of the paint. If you go on the Harry Ferguson forum on www.yesterdaystractors.com you'll get the exact number of the paint by asking the question.
