I am re-painting my Super A; second time in about 10 years. This has been my working tractor and it does not have the original engine. I have been using my "lye and soap" mixture to remove grease and old paint. As the red paint comes off, there is white paint everywhere underneath. As a matter of fact, I knew the white paint was underneath, but I did not know what it meant 10 years ago. I have considered painting the tractor white to return it to its "actual original color". But, it will still have to be my "working tractor", and I don't think the white paint would look to good covered with brown dust from gardening. Before some of you get upset about authenticity, I do not intend to claim that it will be "original", but obviously white was the original color. Give me some opinions-white or red?

Chassis serial number must be in the range of 281269-285298. Casting dates should range from about Sept 1949 through late March 1950. Anything later than March 1950 indicates a replaced casting, or a fake tractor.

Lewis, I would make sure the tractor fell in the sequence of numbers for the demonstrators and for me the rest would be a personal preference. I would probably go white just to see how I'd like it. I will say that it will be tough on the eyes when a bright day reflects off that hood.ED
P.S. No matter what, take lots of pics of the old paint, you may one day part with it and who knows what new info will surface in the mean-time.
