I have a "1929 B" and a "1947 C" I hope to restore next year. I need to know the paint colors for the orange, grey and blue. Also were there options on the decals?

All the Bs and Cs were the so called Persian Orange #1. The PPG paint code is 60080. I had trouble getting PPG to locate a mixing formula for OMNI AE single stage the last time I bought paint. I have a PPG mixing formula written down now if you need it. It's a very pumpkin color orange compared to other AC oranges.

Grey and Blue???. There are more than one Decal Options available.

Where in Texas is home HH? BTW the first Allis B was built in "37". Real B production began in "38" with SN#101

I think you meant to say 1939 B. The whole tractor, minus the gennerator and starter (which were black), and rear rims (which were galvanized, but most people paint them silver or gray for restorations), were orange. The only other part of the tractor that was not orange were the early decals. 1939 would have had the Blue Allis Chalmers letters outlined with white, with the Long A and S on the ends. Maple Hunter is a GREAT source for decals, John is extremely helpful and a great person to do business with. Hope this helps.

Oh, and the 47 C would have had the Black Allis Chalmers outlined in white with the level, or short, A and S.
