Emt260 15 #1 Posted February 12, 2021 Good afternoon everyone! I have a 1983 Workhorse GT1100 that was my father’s. He gave it to a neighbor when he moved out of state and the neighbor decided to restore it... needless to say it was a total hack job! Well I bought it back from the “restorer” after he painted the entire thing red.... does anyone know #1 where I can find the color code for the gray? And #2 does anyone know where I can buy it? And lastly, does anyone know where I can get a new hood for it? Thanks for any help in advance... joe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackhood Bill 721 #2 Posted February 12, 2021 @Emt260 There are opinions here, but @c-series don is the one hopefully will chime in here. He has a GT and was restored amazingly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,056 #3 Posted February 12, 2021 Paint used was two Ford colors Pewter metallic part number 8-0335 for 1982 models - Automotive equivalent 1971 Lincoln-Mercury Pewter Metallic Pewter gray part number 8-0337 for 1983-84 models (Not metallic) - Automotive equivalent 1982 Lincoln Light Pewter Will let others suggest a hood source.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,056 #4 Posted February 12, 2021 You should check and compare your model number. This is what comes up with a GT-1100 search ----- 1984 https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q=gt-1100&quick=1&type=downloads_file Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garry Garry is totally correct on this. I used the pewter gray non metallic 1982 Lincoln light pewter which is correct for my 1984 GT-1800 that I bought new in august of 84. I restored it about 3 years ago after countless hours of work with that tractor. It is this tractor that got me hooked on Wheel Horse tractors. They are not red but they are Wheel Horse through and through. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emt260 15 #7 Posted February 13, 2021 Thank all of you! I plan on taking all the metal off and have it repainted. I will post pictures of what it looks like. @c-series don yours came out amazing! I have a love for this tractor, and if I had the space I would own a dozen more! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It used to hang in my bedroom when I was a kid. I stored it away for many years and finally when I built my garage she was the FIRST thing to get hung up. My wife said oh no you are not hanging that up in here. I said you don’t understand, I had a relationship with her as a teenager. She never said no and never talked back. She’s still hanging there 24 years later and hasn’t aged a bit. Still don’t even know her name 😂👍🏻 Edited February 13, 2021 by c-series don 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
