Seriously, tho--if that's too gaudy for ya, you could always go with Caterpillar yellow, or even Mpls Moline prairie gold. That would tone her down a bit.
When you get the box torn off would be a good time to paint the frame, too. On one of my Internationals, I just wire brushed it, then brushed on some XO Rust primer, followed by some XO rust Satin Black (True Value's equivalent of Rustoleum). Looks great! Actually, the wife picked up the second can of JD Green on her way home last night and saw the JD Yellow and that got her fired up about the yellow again.
I'll probably have to pressure wash the frame first, then let it dry out, and then hit it with a wire brush. 59 years of pasture muck kicked up all over it.. and while i'm at it, i'm sure i'll do the rear axl, too.
I'm a die hard Red tractor man.. so it may seem a little funny I used J.D. Green.. but the truth is that the J.D. Green just happened to be the closest in color to what I wanted without having to have it custom mixed.
