I think if I were putting one in a museum I would try to make it original for people to see. But for my personal use I like to make them nice and then use them for years, and about ten or fifteen years later, clean and paint them again. You can always make a tractor look new again but you also have to use em for what they are made for. Working and getting dirty. I did a ford 9n and painted it ford blue with white sheetmetal because I personally liked the combo much better than grey and I have to look at it every day! The oringinal aspect has been lost on a few things. I have 8n fenders with the ford script. I have an 8n block with thick wall sleeves. I have it converted to 12 volt which I love, good starts, bright snowplowing lights, ability to jumpstart any vehical if it needs it. I also have 15 inch front rims with 7.50-15 armstrong oversized tires that I like very well. So it is far from original but I think it looks much better than it did when it was original. I get a lot of compliments on it so it must look pretty good! later
