Hi, I’m going to it painted so if anyone could tell, show me what color goes where please. I will post pictures of the process!
Well my brother has a sand blaster and paint gun and I do a lot of sand blasting for him so if that answer your rust question. And also I have a question about my hydraulic spool, is this a double or single spool? To me it looks like it could be converted to double so it would be?hydraulic lift.Definitely following this thread with interest. I'm headed the same way you are with my 444. I'm curious how you are going to prep and prime and deal with any rust, use hardener. Looking forward to your updates.
Sorry, I was re-reading my prior post, where I said, hood and fenders are desert sunset. Nobody corrected me, but it is somewhat incorrect. Specifically to desert sunset,For myself, Desert Sunset is a very nice color. Bleached out, after 40 years or so, it really doesn't show it's true color anymore. Desert sunset, would typically go on, only the hood and the fenders. Everything else is power red.
Desert Sunset is a very difficult color to color match to anything else. I wasn't successful with any of that.
The Power Red is easier though, and I used to get my paint from Lordco for that color.
Attached are 2 colors and codes.
The top color, is power red from later years. Grand prix red. I've had them mix me some of this, and stick it into a spray can. Their spray cans painted a straight line up/down, 8" or so in band, whereas the cheaper stuff, paints a circle and it's difficult to get a truly nice paint job with that.
The lower color, is Jacobson Red, and would typically find itself on the earlier case tractors,, like the Case 195 years.
Desert Sunset, can only be purchased from a Case distributor.

Is this the short back seat?73case
This is a pretty good deal at Northern Tool,
I have seen a low back seat that's close to a stock seat for the older Case Garden Tractors
