Dan Paint it any color you want. If it was a truely original M I would say no you have to restore it because their arent many around these days. ((The ones that have never been touched (all original stuff right down to the cotter keys) for some 40 odd years and are sitting in a barn somewhere waiting for the new lucky owner to restore it to ORIGINAL)) If the tractor is clean, mechanically sound and painted real pretty it will not only look good but will have a resale value. I saw a W-4 once that a guy painted for his wife to use around the garden pulling a little trailer that was painted bright yellow. It was mostly original and had good sheet metal. One blown cylinder and had been sitting outside for 2yrs. I should have bought it.
