EHauck 122 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 I have a question about the dash panel. I’ve seen the inside is painted gray and I’ve also seen it black. Does anybody know the correct color? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska1206 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I believe there was a color difference, depending on the model year? I'm not 100% sure on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Early 560’s were gray I think the change to black was 1961. It’s not a myth , the later ones are black no question about it. If yours is a 59 as previously stated then it should be grey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would like to see some black ones there’s a junk yard with at least 30 560’s and almost as many 460’s with black painted dash’s in the line up . I can take some pictures for you .???

It was in the school ag shop for the entire school year. It was a big help having four or five other students to grind sand blast or sand. Even though my “unskilled laborers” would screwup from time to time, I probably wouldn’t even have paint on it if I wasn’t able to work on it in school. Since most of my time outside of school is devoted to cows and other farm work 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a current New Holland gray that is very close, or at least that is the case for the dash on my Dad's 450. I would assume that's the same gray? If so, I think the spray can is still at the farm, let me see if I can find it & get a part number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska1206 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 This is the can of New Holland gray that was used on the dash panel of my Dad's Farmall 450 when he had it repainted. Ken Wood from Canada (rest in peace, buddy!!) gave me the part number for this many years ago, and I happened to obtain a can for my Dad. Part number 86109004DS. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHauck 122 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 I got ahold of some of that paint. I think it is looking pretty good. I got some other small things done too. This recent heat wave is having me praying for a nice air conditioned shop. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to paint the gray on first and then tape it off and spray red. I tried hunting and hunting for an original 660 wheel but I couldn’t find anything. But I am keeping my old one in case I would ever get a chance to restore it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHauck 122 Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Long time no update. My entire summer has pretty much been booked mainly because of being my dad’s head hay Tedder, Raker, and wagon puller. And also the head mechanic I got busy with redoing the AC in our 7740 and rebuilding our 1466 motor. But this weekend I finally was able to get some good work done. I finished up painting the dash and got some of the gauges in. The rest of the stuff I am waiting for yet. Also today marks three weeks that Jeff has had my emblems so hopefully in a week or so I will get them back also 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHauck 122 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 So I’ve been thinking about my tachometer and its time to do something about it. I’d like to get it rebuilt I don’t think metro speedometer is in business anymore because I wasn’t able to get ahold of them on a few occasions. My next thought was bobs speedometer but the price I was quoted for a rebuild went past $1000. Is there any other options for a shop to send it to?
