Chad, I have seen 3 different types of shifting lever configurations for the W9. One is the direct out of the transmission, then bent back 90deg. then sweeping up to the knob. The second is a short stub out of the transmission, then rigid clamped connection 90 deg back and then the upsweep to the knob. The third is the hinged linkage as you speak to the vertical shaft to the knob. I don"t know what years each configuration was used except that we had a 1949 which had the first type, along with clutch and brake pedals with perforated pads welded to the pedals. The factory seats were the same as for the W6 which was an elongated version of the type used on the H and M without the tool box attached. There was also an aftermarket adjustable seat called "Flo-ting seat" which had a mounting bracket to the original mounting holes, and had a coil over shock absorber with a manual weight adjustment which was much softer than the factory seat. The aftermarket seat could also be purchased with a cushioned seat with minimal back rest. The seat itself was somewhat comfortable, but the backrest was quite useless except for a handle for mounting the tractor. You are correct in your assessment of the paint used on the 1946 models. The red paint that IH used became in short supply, so IH used a paint that was quite purplish, then added yellow to brighten it up for the 46 models. The result was that as the red faded, it became orange then practically yellow. I could always tell a 1946 Farmall and McCormick by that trait alone. Within a year or so they went to which is now the 2150 IH rouge red.
