Long time one of my favorites having a strong love for farm tractors. Being built in 1976 came straight from the factory this way. It is a Case 1570. A true powerhouse during it's time.

It's in good shape for a '76.

I can't honestly say it has not been repainted, what I meant was it came from the factory painted the way it is in the picture. I have seen this tractor at Pontiac Illinois and again at Penfield Illinois.

Nice shot countryman, might I presume this is a show tractor?
Yes it is a show tractor and would not be used for any heavy farm work. Strictly for show as far as I know. I saw this in 2010 at the Central States Threshermans Reunion. They will have tractors that have been restored and some in their original condition. Most equipment manufacturers have produced special paint schemes for one reason or another. Fo example very early 50's International Harvester had painted some tractors mainly white for demonstrators. IH had painted their tractors red starting back into the mid 30's when the F-20 on the market although when it 1st came out was grey. Massey Ferguson has a combine out with the USA flag on its sides.
