    Looking forward to seeing it get fixed up! I think it would be cool to leave it in its working clothes, but whether you decide to paint it, I think it will look good either way!

    Keep the original look. Shows the character and history in it

    I guess the question becomes regarding painting. Is it still original. You've already done a tremendous amount of work. There is a certain joy in seeing something original, but there is also a joy in seeing what something looked like fresh off the dealers floor. Whatever choice you make there will be regret. I guess paint it and do a full restoration so in a hundred years people will still see what it looked like new

    Wow, great video! Can’t wait until the next one. I love tear down and rebuild videos and have never seen one of a John Deere two cylinder engine before. As for painting the tractor, if you are going to use it after you’re done, probably not paint it unless you are doing a complete restoration.

    i have AN unstyled a ive been wanting to get at! its a lot of work to do a full restoration paint wise. i am almost leaning more towards keeping it the way it is and have it 100% functional

      I would go with repainting the old girl but some folks like them in their working clothes..

    Those mice can really make a mess out of things. I can't decide if I want to see it repainted... Maybe repaint half of it, see what that looks like 😅.

    Not sure about this question. Normally I like a new coat of paint on the ones that I restore. I have repainted and re-decayed my 1963 MF35 Govt Utility Edition. I also have a 1941 JD A, currently in its work clothes. I have more work to do with it, yet I believe I will give it a fresh coat of paint. That being said paint it.

    Just took the head off my 47 A. That my great great uncle bought new in fall of 46. He never ran antifreeze he would put water in it basically drained during winter. The head and block has finally rotted from inside out. Was 47 the first electric start A’s I have heard that but don’t know?

    I'd paint it, otherwise it's like taking a shower and putting your dirty underwear back on.
