Im restoring a John Deere mt should generator be black or green and should rear axels be painted if so what color
 

The starter should be GREEN!!!. In order for it to have been black from the factory, it would have had to have been installed after the chassis was painted and dried. If this were the case, unless they assigned someone to scrape the paint off from the mating surface, the starter would not have grounded and the new tractor would not have started. The reason for so many being black is that within 15 years of new the starter had to go to the auto electric shop for repair. These shops were not interested in keeping the right color paint for everyone's tractor on hand so they used what they had for car starters. Which of course is BLACK.
