Just a footnote to add to your comment about repainting to make them look newer. I was in the Dealer Relations Dept at Ford Tractor where those decisions came from. I also know that in the early 1960's after extensive research it was found that used tractor customers desired the traded in tractor they were buying to look like the newest tractors. Due to these findings Ford Tractor Division strongly urged dealers to clean up and paint trade in units in the new color schemes. This was a very effective practice and helped turn many a dealers used equipment part of the business into a profitable one.
