Thanks for the info. Now I am really thinking it is just a primer for a professional repaint. That would make sense to as when I got it, all the castings had date codes that matched within two months of each other except for the rear casters; they had date codes of 1946 on them, signaling that it was most likely converted to rubber after the war. Maybe it was repainted then, as IH50 red would have most likely still been on some local dealer's parts shelf? The parts I found on this tractor tell an interesting story in itself already. It had the afore mentioned '46 casters, a mag, add-on lights (the ones with the black buckets), an electric starter, the hand crank had been totally removed, (very unusual), an oversize generator with the regulator mounted separately down on the belt drive block-off plate, no provision in the transmission to drive a PTO, a gas carb, (the serial plate is plain, no X codes at all) and a gas head from the middle 1950's that the casting code (362533R1) shows to be used on very late model H's, and SH's. This tells me that it was converted from a distillate tractor to a gas tractor sometime after 1953 when this head became available as a dealer parts item. An interesting side note on the head is that it is a factory rework head, as evidenced by the casting number between the valves being ground off in the middle, as was done to factory rejected heads then, and later the casting number was re-stamped on the plug side of the head after it was reworked and found acceptable. These types were almost always sent out to the dealer parts network. It also still had cut-off wheels on the front end, as can be seen in the before picture above, but the rear steels were long gone. Too bad.
