Hi I'm a bit late getting here but I wouldn't paint it, It took how many years to get like that naturally and if a guy paints it its all gone with the first stroke of the blaster/wire wheel or what ever a guy does. Very soon there will be a change here in North America, where guys want to see original as found or last used tractors. They will get bored with seeing overpriced trailer queen restorations. I started my tractor collecting days back in the U.K. and still get the magazines.
Original tractors are starting to get sort afterand make a lot of money compared to trailer queens for what they are. I got a Fordson P6 here has 40 years of patina from sitting including rust, faded original paint and fungus type stuff on it in patches, plus what happened during it's working life before. several guys say clean it down and restore it or just wash it. Nope it runs and drives it's complete and looks real cool like it is. If i showed Sweetfeet a picture and then painted it she's slap me to the middle of next week for destroying the rust L.O.L.
