My vote is: wait on the paint. Get the tractor running how you like it, and driveable...get used to it and get the kinks out. Then, once you have everything lined up and organized, take the tractor back apart, sandblast, prime, and paint. When you put it back together you'll have a GOOD running tractor that looks GREAT! It'll be very satisfying to take a running tractor apart, and put it back together so it runs again. Feels like you've got it all figured out AND you know exactly what went into making it look and sound the way it does without cutting any corners. I definitely love your enthusiasm...wish I had more of it myself, but you gotta take this one thing at a time, as hard as that is to listen to. To me, a mechanically sound and tight, good-running tractor is WAY more valuable that a dolled-up one with a fancy dress.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
