Farmall 340

I have the instrument panel exposed to replace instruments. I was thinking I may as well take the thing clear apart and paint it while I am at it. Would someone tell me what color it is supposed to be? It looks like charcoal originally. Now it is mostly rust colored.

Hi Ron,

On my 340U, the panel is black. I do not know if that is original, or if it was repainted long before I owned it. ??? Not much help, I guess.

I borrowed a picture from Mike's photo sight of his 340 which I will link below. It looks like his is pretty much the charcoal gray you describe.

Thanks, Charlie. I think I will go with a flat charcoal if I can find something that suits me. I still need to pull the steering wheel to get the panel off. Not much time getting devoted to this tractor right now.
