I've got a 544Hydro. Got it at a state surplus auction. It's a row crop tractor not industrial.This tractor came from the factory painted industrial yellow color. Red tractors sure look good but since this one has never been red, what color would you paint it? I also have a hydro70 from the same source and it was obviously red from the factory and repainted yellow since it is red under the hood. Thanks for your comments. Bruce

I have a I-544 gas. It came red and white. I can send you a picture. What kinda deal did you get for your row-crop. There is a guy here who has your exact tractor F-544 and his is red also. His name is Steve Gussy (might be spelled wronge). He has been a very good source for information. I would high recommend contact him with any questions.

Don, I bought it from a guy 6 0r 7 years ago for 3000. Good little tractor. I likeit. He bought it at the auction the same day I bought the hydro 70. He saw me bidding and we became aquainted. He was retired from Boeing and he was just playing around with it. He paid 2500 when he bought it. Anyway, when he decided to sell he gave me first chance and I knew the tractor so I bought it. Thuis one has a swept back front axle so it will turn really short. I think it will be red.

Well, my eye likes the color red, so I'd paint it the IH red/white color sceme.
But, it's your tractor, what color does your eye like?

IMHO RED..
I'm an ex Va.Dept of Trans employee, everything we had was painted Highway Orange.
Red gets my vote.

I'd paint it red. The 544's paint matched the paint of the 56 seires, which I think are some of the best looking IH's.

Just my opinion, but I never much liked the yellow painted tractors, but it's yours and you should do to it what YOU like best.
