Philip: It used to be fairly common for a dealership to repaint a tractor to the current color scheme when they did major work on it(engine or trans rebuild for example). Also if they had a used tractor to sell it would bring a higher price if it looked good. The newer color paint was usually in stock at the dealership and frankly the newer colors usually look better. This practice is still used for the same reasons today. What I'm getting at is it is very common to find the wrong paint scheme on an older tractor. In my opinion this doesn't necessarily make these newer colors incorrect when restoring a tractor as they are really a part of the history of each tractor.
