Fordson Super Major radiator emblem colors

There are five colors on the FMD, and FPM cowl badges. The hand and right row of florets and leaf on the wheat is the same orange as the orange wheels. The left row of florets and leaf are a yellow/orange but lighter than the wheel color. The right half of the gear is white, and the left half of the gear is a dark blue (very close to the E27N blue) The background in the oval around the wheat sheaf and gear is Fordson blue... same as the sheet metal of the tractor.

I have just done some research for you. In Stuart Gibbards book, The Ford Tractor Story Part 1, it apears that New Performance (Grey Wheel) Super Majors had grey leters, grey background and the hand is blue.

I just watched the release advertisment for the original Super Major in colour on video. On orange wheel Supers, leters are black, background is orange hand is orange. In Stuarts book there is a early Super with a blue hand. On my tractor its definitly orange.

The Grey wheel Super was introduced in June 1963.
