what colors of rattle can

[Allis nut 0]

Hi all long time lurker first time poster. Can any one tell me what red in krylon or rustoleum would be right for a 1966 1046? Also the wheels should they be white or almond? I have looked and gotten a little confused. Thanks

I've been using the tractor&implement paints from TSC and use IH red and white that can be bought as mixable or as rattle cans. The white used on the wheels is actually a creamy or almond color like you asked. I think I've read where a Regal Red was used which was a nice match too. A 1966 1046??? I know of a 1045 or a 1056 but never seen a 1046. Are you in the States? I never heard of a 706 either until I believe it was a poster from the UK mentioned one and posted pictures including ID tag.

Rustoleum Regal Red is what I consider the correct red. My old dealer (who opened in 1959) told me that's the one he's been using for years and it's a direct match to the older stuff. As for white, there's been a bunch of topics on that. Read through the other threads here in the paint section.

As for Krylon... I couldn't tell you.

and Paul... yes, there is an American 1046... it's the same as the 1056, but with a different spec motor. Shallow flat bottom oil pan instead of a sump or something like that. They're a pretty rare animal. There was one on ebay last fall in Indiana.

Thank you all for the replies. And yes I am in the states in southern Indiana. I picked this tractor up for parts with no motor or hood and decided to redo it then found out it was kinda rare. I dont have the right motor for it but will look for one for now it will have a k181 8 horse. I am also putting a sickle bar mower on it. Thanks again.

Rustoleum Regal Red

As a rattle can hack myself......Krylon Cherry Red is my splatter of choice.

it's a little darker than the factory color...but once it gets some sun it looks just right to me.

Like Jason mentioned the 1046 is an odd ball & a nice find. :thumbs:

And since I am almost (notice I said almost) the cheapest

guy on red square with discriminating taste (champagne taste

on a beer budget). I use "Touch & Tone" cherry red from

Rural King. $1.45 a big can. So far I like the color!

And of course :whistle:

For the rims I use Wimbledon White it is practically the same as original

I use Rust-oleum Specialty Farm equipment ( International Red) goes on nice and even and color is almost as close to wheel horse original. I to am a rattle can finatic. Only because I use to use my air gun paint sprayer, but with the schedule with family and work. I only have a short time at spurts to do any restores and when I do I can only do a few parts at a time. And I need to paint them as soon as possible before they start to rust . With the rattle can I can pick it up and paint with out the paint mixing and clean up!

I bought Red Devil cherry red at Big Lots. $1.90 a can. Goes on nice and is very, very close to original wh red.

I took a peice of paint to the store with me and decided on the rustoleum regal red but i will check out the others like the tsc and big lots brands at a later date. Thanks for all the replys.

The 1046 that sold in Indiana. It's resting comfortably waiting for its owner to claim it!

IH Red Classic restoration series from TSC. Avail in qt or gal. Hardener recommended. Rattle can touchup: Plasticoat Cherry red.

My son's Ranger is all Cherry red

Not W/H but pretty close! Not a bad job for an 11 year old!

[jusjeepn 59]

Paul, The decals are original. The tractor is still in Indiana! If you ask Dustin real nice, I'm sure he'd let you come look at it!

Sorry! Dustin is DMESS here on R/S

Congrats! Are you going to paint it?

I found in troctor paint that the ford red seamed to match better than the international red. also the ford engine red matched up well to. at least thats what I used.
