Minneapolis-Moline Paint Codes
Color legend
- PG1 / PG2 / PG3 — successive Prairie Golds (PG2 = common Letter-Series gold; PG3 slightly browner, used on G-VI/M5/4 Star).
- Industrial / Highway Yellow — latest and industrial MMs.
- Cherry Red — early wheels/grills; Implement Red — early implements; Late Red — same as Cockshutt Red, some post-1968 tractors.
- Battleship Gray / MM-TC Gray — Twin City and earliest MM tractors.
- Dyna Brown (powertrain, 1962–67), Bronz Metallic (powertrain, 1959–61), Gray Metallic (some industrial powertrains).
Per MMCI: special orders, regional exceptions, and day-to-day variation mean many tractors differ from these configurations.
