Hi Folks, Have a 1943 CASE VAI that I've been slowly tinkering with on the road to restoration. It was in pretty good shape when I got. Anyhow after I fix the brakes and leaks in the rear end it will be close to painting time. What I'm curious about is the previous owner said the previous owner he got it from got it from the original owner which was a town DPW which used it for mowing. The tractor has the original mower. In fact it has the original dealer plate and serial number plate showing all the serial #'s and mower type. The previous owner did a quickie paint job and painted it Case orange, however you can still see the original yellow color underneath. Was yellow a factory option for the VAI's? Or do you think the original buyer, town DPW, painted it yellow? Does it matter if I paint it yellow or orange? i.e. is it any more valuable in yellow with all the orginal tags and mower and such? Or does it not really matter? Thanks, Don
