My '23 Fordson didn't have anything but a layer of grease on it. Cleaned all of that grease off and no paint was to be found anywhere. At the time (age 17) looks were more important. I wanted to show my Dad's uncle who sold me the tractor he'd owned for over 45 years that it would be well cared for. I'm still glad I painted it because the bare metal would be steadily rusting away here in humid East Texas. Especially the wheels.

At least until I was certain I wanted to paint it bad enough that I always saw it all painted up in my mind each and every time I looked at it. At that point, and maybe I'm too patient, I'd say things a bit wistfully..."I really need to put some paint on the ol' gal." or things to that effect. On the other hand, you may decide you like it the way it is and become comfortable with how it looks now. See how you feel about it in a year or so.
