I have a I-544 gas. It is red and I thought it was always red. Some paint is scraped off the front axle and there is yellow under the red. I cannot find any other scrapped yellow paint on the tractor.

What color was my tractor orgianally? Was red and yellow paint both offered? Were only the row crops and Farmalls painted red? What about the white engin sheld panels?

Just for general knowledge, were a lot of Internationals painted yellow. This is kinda funny since old case tractors are yellowish orange.

Sounds to me like someone has replaced the front axel with the axel from an industrial model.

I've heard that Utility tractors would be red, with yellow paint being an option at no extra cost, and dealers would paint any tractor any other color you wanted at an extra charge.

I don't have any specific knowledge about 544's, but I know that IH did paint tractors many different colors for special orders. Industrial and utility models that were bought by states and counties for road maintenance were often yellow, along with many other colors as were tractors bought by industries & construction companies, depending on the preference of the buyer.
If any parts were ever replaced by salvaged parts, you may be seeing the color of the donor tractor too.
There are lots of posibilities.
