"Like I said this tractor was purchased new from IH in late 48 early 49. The reason they painted them like this was to try and get some appeal because the model was old and John Deere had changed their design three times since this tractor came out. Their marketing scheme was to use this tractor as a demo in ag communities to get people asking around about the new tractor they saw in the neighbors field. When they went to learn about it the IH dealer could tell them it's the same old M we've always built want one? I have done a ton of research on this tractor to find out what it was.

He called them a "demo model" so maybe I'm wrong in calling it a demonstrator. It never quits surprising me how many people will argue with me about the paint on this tractor. I have heard them all and like the others I'll politely tell you "first of all, your wrong!" Hope this helps."
