I have some old paint-line photo's. The unstyled D line shows the tractors being pulled through and completley assembled except for tires. Pictures show some steel wheels on the tractors that have a lot of paint on them, so they must have used them during painting only. The carbs were painted, but as you will find if you paint yours, and use the tractor for a few years, there will be no paint left.

I have the "John Deere Model D Photo Archive", I looked through some of the pictures (black and white). It is hard to tell, but it looks like they were bare metal.

This also fits in with the later Waterloo practice of not painting parts like the generator, starter, and carb. Of course, this may not apply to the D.

The carbs on our '28 D, and '38 DI aren't painted, and I don't think they ever were, but they have had 60 to 70 years to lose all the green/yellow.

In my opinion, unpainted carbs look better. And you don't have to worry about leaking gas peeling the paint off.

Might as well not paint the block either. Almost all the Ds I've seen have no paint right under the carb, and down the side of the block. Just kidding of course!
