Horse Drawn McCormick Deering Cultivator

[dbscars2]

Trying to help a friend restore a McCormick-Deering horse drawn cultivator, but having trouble finding a list of the paint colors for all the items. Anyone have a list or a location you can share to find it?

Thanks,
David

Are you looking for a list of paint colors/codes or are you looking for specifics on what parts should be which colors? Either answer may vary depending on which model and the approximate year you are dealing with. A picture of what you are working on may help.

Thanks for replying Jim! I am looking for both actually. I need to know what parts should be what color and what the paint colors are.

[Jim Becker]

Most likely, the main colors were red and blue, possibly some cream. Wooden parts were probably ocher. Anything more specific depends on the questions in my first reply.

Jim,
I saw the tines were blue, and main beams were red, wheels were Ocher, but not sure about the connecting features.

[Jim Becker]

Okay, now I know it has wheels. They were probably cream.

[dbscars2]

Yes. I found the color for those, how about the “arms” that hold the cultivator knives?

[Jim Becker]

Still waiting for year, model, or a picture.

A few pics would go a long way
