| Looks great! While I would only restore things to be as close to 100% original as I can get, I have no problem with others painting things whatever color orange they want. It's their tractor, as long as they're happy, that's all that matters! |

| Looks great. I like the brighter orange like you used. What kind of paint? I spent lots of hours on a D14 pulling a seven ft. IH 990 haybine while growing up. Dad always had a D14 or D15 around the place and my grandfather had a D14 with a loader. Thanks for posting. Tom |

Looks great. Like other said any orange is good. Just don't paint your tractor with the color scheme of a different tractor manufacturer and I am ok with it. Don't just mean green I hate it when I see an IH painted to match an MF just one of my pet peeves. That is one tractor you and your dad can be proud of. I am in the process of rebuilding the motor in my d17 and hoping I can work some new paint into the repair this winter. Problem is I have to build the shop first as my mechanic had his rented shop sold this fall. Once again great work on that d14 hope your dad enjoys it for a long time to come. |

Beautiful! I hope I can get my WD45 to look this good when I get it finished. Long as it's orange, it's the right color! I like to do things original, but the PO2 is a prettier color than PO1 is, IMO. ------------- 8050 200 7010 185x2 D17-IV D15IIx2 D14 WD45 Deutz Allis 6260 Gleaner Kx2 Gleaner K2 Diesel 2300 discx2 600 and 333 planters 2 AC wagons several AC plows/chisels Rotobalerx2 Other Misc AC Equipment |
