My opinion is that if you ask someone else to answer a question that only you can really answer, you're going to be disappointed in the end. I wouldn't get hung up on the proper colors, you can change that later. What I mean is, I've seen people about to blow their brains out because they couldn't decide on No.1 Cream or No.2 Cream for the wheels of their McD model 7 mowing machine,and it had to be perfect. Who cares, No.1 or No.2? They saved the thing from the scrapyard, that's what matters! You're concerned about where the paint is rubbed off the fender? Think about it. You may have already answered your own question. My Uncle Jim was an expert fabricator. He made a rocking lever to engage the PTO on our 'M' which swung 90deg. up and down on the right side of the seat, mounted on the trans cover. I was just crawdad bait when he did it, and I never saw the factory setup until many years later; I couldn't believe I.H. would make such a stupid little pull ring! No matter what level I restore this tractor to, I would never delete Uncle Jim's PTO lever. I can understand you wanting to keep that bare spot. Fritz
