who all likes original paint??!!

Here are some of our 1964 D17 series 3 we got this fall. Our plans are to just repaint the rims and grill. The rest looks good to me!

You guys are making me feel bad.... I'm repainting mine for my grandmother. It sat out all it's life and didn't look the best and I want her to be able to see it the way it was when she was a little girl. only around 1000 original hours on it. keep those originals lookin good!

I have been debating repainting my 7050. The wheels for sure need paint. Don't have any pics on my computer yet. Just old fashioned pictures. Here's one of my brother's XT Landhandler. The front weight was painted white a few years ago otherwise it's untouched.

 I know its not original (green) but the tinwork was repainted in the early 30s to look like the newer tractors.  I thought of repainting it but the patena has really grown on me.

I perfer original everything, paint, if it looks decent and most is still there. Cars or tractors, I'm hooked on original. Just me.

Anybody that has talked to me knows I am a sucker for original tractors.  Dont get me wrong, its nice to see a perfect paint job but, original tells me more stories!

This is our 1963 series III, not the greatest paint but she has 8000 hours on her too.
This tractor has been on the farm since new, we have repainted the wheels and grill.



This is my WD45 and drill.  I did overhaul the motor this last year and had to paint the engine due the fact that there was not any paint left.


Our workhorse, the 190XT series III.


One of my newer toys, this one is about half original paint.


My series I D15 fresh from the farm.


Dads 1953 WD.


The 170 and 185.


1948 WC, this tractor is a sweetheart to drive.


This is another "been here since new tractors".  Not the greatest paint, but she has alot of hours under her belt.


My D15 is pulling the wagon in this shot.  It has also had the wheels and grill repainted.


Sorry Andrew but you opened up a can of worms for me! lol  I will try to post some friends tractors that are original.

Here is my '28 Allis still working.

Andrew, That unstyled WC with the canvas rad cover is my most favorite picture every on this forum. There are tractors with more original paint around maybe, but that WC and the drill it was hooked to are special. Charlie

Sorry but I was gone to a New Holland meeting the last couple days so I am playing catch up!  I thought I would post some of the nicest originals I have seen.

WD45 Vegetable
 

One amazing 185.


This is my friend Bruce's 1958 D17 Diesel


Not A-C but find another original like this!


This one was used by one of our customers until about 6-7 years ago.  They traded it in on a 8030.  The Buttjer's of Charles City gave it a good home.


This is one of the best gems I have ever seen.  This UC was used for farming one year then put into storage!  Notice the tires?


Of course not original paint, but how bout the tires! You dont get any better than this!

This is exactly where it was taken.  Loren Durst owns the tractor.
