Weights came primed or not painted at all from the factory. According to a paint committee memo dated September 24, 1946, that states from then on all tractor weights are to be painted the same color as the rest of the tractor. Now that means it depends upon what color the tractor was to begin with, as if it was part of a large enough order, IH would paint it any color the customer asked for. Usually though, in actual practice, the weights were probably painted with what ever the painter had in the gun at the time, as I have seen red tractors with original color yellow weights on them, and we all have probably seen the pictures of the famous white tractors from 1950 with red weights on them.
I too agree though that I would just repaint it like I remember it when Grandpa owned it.
