Wow! -an old Farmall. Dad had an old one, looked almost just like that. Very close, not kidden. Accept!- it was an International Cub and pulled a Flail Mower. The quietest tractor/mower combo that I've ever heard. Used it to cut 18 acres, plow the drive, clear dead tree's from the woods, bla blah.

My buddies dad, way back then had two Farmalls, same size, but they were Orange. One he restored and yep,-painted it Orange again. Not sure what was up with the Orange, but that's what he went with. The other was a little beat up, he used for plowing. That one, scuffed up and faded,was Orange as well. Must have been the color for a few model years.

I would restore it, if it were me. Once all other projects have cleared the fricken garage bay.
