I think International Harvester red is pretty close. Someone advertises Wheel Horse red on that auction site.

It's good to see work starting on the Ranger....   I use IH red as well.. IH white looks good on the wheels too

There were a number of IH "Red" colors.  You would want one of the earlier ones that are a brighter red.  One similar to what was used on the letter series Farmall tractors.

Cheers for ur advice guys does anyone no what implements was used on a lawn ranger or what suits them best ?

Nice looking machine mate, i take it your plans are to do a full restoration? I have been told IH red is what to use, you can buy it in liter tins from that auction site, I've never brought the IH red but i have brought the IH white which looks lovely on the wheels. I have purchased 2 tins of IH white from the same seller on the auction site that sells the IH red as well, and considering the prices of paint these days its pretty cheap. I haven't had any problems with it, good quality paint, the IH white is what i used on my wheels of my raider 10 and my cubcadet i also sprayed the cubcadet bonnet with the same IH white. 

 

As for your implements... I have the original manuals here for a 1968 lawn ranger and it says...

Cheers for your help Charlie

Im going to order paint I've found it on that auction site and sure am going to give it full resto I have spent last 2 weeks sauceing a carb pull start and valve seat for the oringinal engine which I've noticed a lot of the ones(lawn Rangers) I see in uk don't have there oringinal engines any way engines all up and running sweat I need a dozer blade

[Charlie Smith 192]

sounds good I look forward to seeing the progress, You're correct they all seem to have replacement engines, I just sold one to James here on my old machine and when I purchased it originally it had a Clinton replacement engine on it, however when I sold it to him I had put the correct engine back onto the machine, hes gained some good progress with it, hope to see all these machine at some shows! 

 

as for a dozer blade for this machine... I'm thinking you'll have just as much luck as finding hens teeth, as the ones for other tractors wont fit I shouldn't of thought anyway.. maybe you could make one? 

[Jackthehat 14]

Are just have to wait I'm sure one will come up or if I could get someone from the U.S. to send me exact measure ments and lots of photos I could build one
