Gregg,
Not quite sure what you are planning, but I have gone to the same sign maker for the last 35 years for grafics for our dealer trucks to my home built toys. Computers and CAD systems are great, and a good tech can make anything you want for grafics.
In answer to your question about me being a machinest, if you consider a hacksaw, file, grinder a drillpress and tap and die set, and exacto knife, the tools of trade, yes I'm a machinest. HeHe

Stiener Tractor has a catalog with a set for my 830. I just haven't been able to justify the price yet--(over $300).
Maybe Santa will bring me a set! (yeah, right!)...slim

Rod, I finshed high-school in 69 so you just a wee-bit younger then me. Oh man rambling again. God Bless

Too bad you didn't trace the decals before you stripped them off. When I redo a Case tractor I mask and paint the black portion, of the decal and then go to my sign maker and have the letters cut from vinyl. Would cost about $60-75 bucks. Both the 430s in the pic have the black painted on and lettering applied over, or painted over and stripped out. The "strip outs are a bit harder to deal with.

I think maple hunter has the best reputation for decals. For myself I bought a set from Steiner but purchased the wrong set for my tractor. After receiving the decals I didn't like they way they were made. They are just a sheet of clear plastic with the letters on the back side. I have a hunch the clear area will get cloudy and look bad so I stenciled the lettering on my tractor. I just printed the lettering on my computer with common copy paper and cut the letters out with an exacto knife. Then I applied the stencil to the tractor with spray adhesive to paint.

Anyway the decal I got said tripl range on it and measured 2 3/4"x 13 1/2" with the letter part 1 3/4"x 12 15/16". The decal with the number is 2"x 4 1/4" with the number size 1 1/2" x 3 5/8".
