An original 1970's can of New Idea "Buff" paint.
| G.E. provided a number of attachments for the New Idea line, almost all were identical to the G.E. line. Many were painted with New Idea's Bittersweet and Buff color combinations. Some were even G.E. logo'd such as the G.E. Hand Tools. Since they were near identical tractors, pretty much everything that worked on the Elec-Trak series could be made to work on the New Idea tractors as well. |

New Idea Touch-up Paint- Buff:
The New Idea colors were Bittersweet Orange and Buff Cream. This is an original can of "Buff" paint from the 1970's. Actually you can still buy both colors of New Idea paint however the shades of the colors have changed slightly over the years. Bittersweet Orange has more red in it today than in the 1970's Buff has changed slightly as well so if you purchase these thinking you will be restoring your tractor to the original colors beware, you might not be very happy as the new colors will not match the paint colors that are on your original New Idea Elec-Trak. |
