The decals I was referring to, on ebay, are apparently, without any red background. At first glance, I was under the impression that they did have a background, going by the picture that they listed. After looking at other pictures in their listing, I would say there is no background.
I am not trying to pinch pennies at all. I am trying to get the closest to correct as possible. I just ordered decals for a Farmall Cub from the dealership last year, and they were vinyl printed on a red background stickers. The correct decals for the tractor were water transfer. To my knowledge, no one makes a proper original set of decals for the tractor. The correct decals would have had a red background and been water transfer. The decals with the individual cut letters or the ones printed on a piece of clear vinyl are not correct.
That is a set of 1962 water transfer decals, replacement OEM, made by the OEM supplier. The other Farmall decals would have been made in the same way. I have a Farmall cub set of water transfer decals in mint shape and they are red as well.
I will probably order from Carter & Gruenewald if there is any debate over the correctness of the decals. I am pretty sure Ken wrote the book on the Farmalls, so he would know what should be and what shouldn't.
As for the McCormick Deering vs. McCormick... like I said, I have a 49. I was sure that 49 was the last year they used McCormick Deering name, but could be wrong.
