A flaw from factory. Sounds to me like that may very well be the case. Original paint and decals are fairly easy to detect from restored tractors that have been repainted and redecaled. I believe you and have no reason not to. I don't really know what to tell you on the restoration. If it was mine I would check into it really well before doing the restoration. In this case the tractor might be worth more unrestored. I would think a restoration on this tractor would take away from its originallity and charecter at the time of factory release. Any stripping of old paint and decals would put the whole story in question to some people. If kept original (no restoring) the story would be backed up by proof right before the viewers eyes. If you simply tell a story and show an old photo after restoring some people might dispute you and all in all may not pay any more money for that tractor as they would any other one. I would pay more money for a speciman with a flaw that was kept original than I would for a restored flaw. But ( I say BUT ) I am not in the market for tractors released that way. I know flawed coins from the U S mint are worth considerable more money than regular coins most of the time but don't really know about flawed tractors. There probably isn't as many tractor collectors as coin collectors.
