First off, I think it is awesome that you want to restore your Grandpa's C! I wish I could find some of Grandpa's tractors... for now I have to settle for a couple of my Dad's.
If you had to choose just 1 book to help you, it would be "Farmall Letter Series Tractors" by Guy Fay. He frequents this message board and will answer specific questions from time to time that aren't covered in his books. This particular book goes through the changes that occured over the run of the tractor models, decal placement, and basic originality tips. Amazon.com has it for around $20... http://www.amazon.com/Farmall-Letter-Tractors-Original-Guy/dp/0760304386/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204583541&sr=8-16
After that, if you plan on doing any repairs or overhauling, I would purchase the owner's manual and shop manual from binderbooks dot com If you want even more detail, the parts manual has excellent diagrams and parts breakdowns (also available online at http://caseih.com/index.aspx with a little searching). The I&T shop manual is good for specs and clearances on various parts.
And of course, ask questions here any time you are stuck on something! Many of us have experience in rebuilding engines, transmissions, etc. and also painting. Lots of people also have pictures to share, too.
