Did ford stop stamping the ford script into the side of the hood above the headlights at any point in production? From the pictures on the net, it looks like the 841s and 861s had the script stamped but the 871s had a larger decal and it doesnt appear to be stamped.

are you talking about the ford logo script itself?

Yes, I was just getting ready to pm you because I knew you would be the guy to ask. My 860 and 960 have the Ford script stamped into the metal above the headlights. Should my 841 powermaster be stamped too, or did they start using decals in 1958?

My 841 currently has aftermarket sheet metal, and I am planning to trade with a guy for origonal 881 sheet metal. The 881 does not have the script stamped in, but the guy swears it is origonal steel.

keep in mind that 881 metal will have a different dash cowling too...

there was a break on the script, though off the top of my head I don't know when.

rickb may..or when I get hom I can hit a manual..or walk thru my barn and get an idea.. :)

I was planning to keep the 841 dash and use it with the 881 hood. The only difference is where the selecto shifter goes, correct? I would appreciate it if you could find out on the script. I am trying to make this 841 factory correct. It has a sherman over/under, so I am guessing that makes it somewhat collectable?

Do you have any idea where I could get the correct paint codes for this tractor? I have used the Valspar before, and it is definitely not right. I am planning to use single stage urethane or base clear on this one.

the sherman adds about 700$ value to the tractor, if you had to buy it seperately now. rare? no.. nice addition? yes.

I have a ford 4000 rowcrop with factory wide front, and a sherman combo. pretty much a very similar tractor to an 841 etc.. except for the rowcrop-ness :)

here are the codes I have. note that later ford reds are pretty orangey..

Ford Modern Dark Blue 29509 DuPont
Ford Ford Gray 29665 DuPont
Ford Empire Blue TP360 TISCO
Ford Industrial Yellow TP760 TISCO
Ford Light Gray TP330 TISCO
Ford Medium Gray TP240 TISCO
Ford Red TP310 TISCO
