That's pretty easy. It wasn't detailed at all.
The tractor was basically completely assembled, then doused in red paint from top to bottom, front to back. Everything was painted red, except the rear rims, and tires. I think even the steering wheel was painted red, but the paint didn't stick.
The rear rims were either galvanized or painted dull grey, depending on who was supplying the rims. It is popular to paint them with aluminum rustoleum paint nowadays.
Sometimes you'll see the starter painted black. That's not original. It's a replacement starter. If you like the look, though, by all means paint it black. It's not "incorrect" despite what the correct police tell you. It's a replacement starter, and replacement starters often came painted black.
If you want original, then paint it completely red. It's your tractor, though. You can make whatever accents you want if you think it looks better.
Personally I would mask or remove the rear rims and tires, the steering wheel, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and distributor cap.
