Some folks think of them as "stickers". They are graphics that are laid on over the paint (and sometimes under the clear-coat, if you're the Perfectionist type) that say things like the tractor name and model, warning signs, operating instructions, etc. For instance, on a Farmall, the round "sticker" on the sides of the radiator shell that say things like "Super A" or "Cultivision" are decals.

In the picture, the "F14" and "Farmall" on the gas tank, and the yellow sticker on the bottom of the air cleaner canister are "decals"
