Nice tractors! I was very excited to see them because I have restored an H and a W4 as well. My H was the first tractor I restored and has been used quite a bit over the 8 years or so since then.
My W4, however, was my latest project, and it's a '49 just like yours! Mine was painted John Deere green with yellow wheels when I bought it though.
I was interested to see the other post about the decals. Mine had a McCormick Deering hood emblem on it that I was certain was original, so I put McCormick Deering decals on it just to match. I've actually taken some flak for not putting McCormick ones on like yours (because most people say that's technically correct) but I chose the older style when I heard that IH had a habit of throwing on left over signage right from the factory. As far as I'm concerned, we're both right!
Plus, don't tell anyone, but I put my "Standard" decals on the gas tank (because I liked them there) and I used Oliver red because it was brighter. Shhh :)
Enough about me though. Your tractors are beautiful and I very much enjoyed seeing the pictures you have online. I hope I can get a nice new set of Field & Road tires soon so mine will look more like yours!

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
