Well , "from the factory" would mean green manifolds with the paint discolored and possibly starting to rust from being run after assy. Also would mean carb and all fittings and linkeag would be all green paint (painted on tractor). Also would mean outer ends of axles would be bare steel w/possibly some grease residue on them. They were shipped with grease and burlap wrapped around them to protect. They also had green overspray on the radiator fins.
