I may be faulted for it but I don't trust any primer and have quit using any. Just make sure you get good coveage with your paint. Don't be afraid to give it lots of times over. start out slow, first coat is "tack coat" don't try to make it orange all at once. Watch for places that are hard to get at or easy to miss.

I have an Allis WD that I painted in 97 and it is a working tractor. Feeding daily all winter, I wax it every year or two and it still looks good and it was cheap farm store paint to boot!
