I agree with you completely. It would be impossible to duplicate a color from a chip that has been exposed to light for very long at all. I have seen pix of every shade of red from brite pink to deep maroon where people said it was restored. I have also seen posts on many sides of the point-purists vs parade-vs show-vs rusty to nice work tractor. I'm not trying to start any controversy, just new to Red Power and passing along what I find or what might help someone. I have an unstyled JD A painted from the original code that some call the wrong green, I also have a hand crank Cat C-4 gas crawler that some say is the wrong yellow, it too is from the original code. Both are completely rebuilt to original and in pristine condition, but, when I take them to a show I put kids on them so dads can take pix and I drive them to and from their space and no ropes. Each has an original implement to work, the JD has a belt drive belly mower and the Cat has a blade and ripper. I intend to do the same with the FA and IA, hay mower or 2 way plow for the FA and snow blade for the IA. In one sense I am a purist in that I want them to be right but I don't need them to be behind ropes and never run. Unfortunately, I now live in Utah and there aren't any shows and not many parades to go to, maybe I can get some going.
