I can see it several ways, and they are all "right" and beautiful in the eye of the owner.
If a tractor has personal history, you may as well honor the scars that contributed to it's survival. If your thing is "restoring", by all means go back to original. If you have something you need to improve to make it work for you, it's no different than what the factory likely would have done to make a better machine from what you currently have - that's why they keep coming out with new models. If you can take something from 1950 and make it work just as well (or better) than something new that won't last half as long, by all means, have at it. In the later case, it's really neat to see what some are doing, such as David G's MH44 with electronic fuel injection, or the fellow who put a diesel on a Farmall A.
Whoa Nellie, yours is every bit as pretty in a historically functional way, as gab's is in new clothes, and I like 'em both. :-)
