I have seen many old machines and engines from the 20s and 30s painted with red lead paint inside of housings and crank cases. One reason that was done was because of cast iron porosity that would cause the outside paint to fail and bubble up and leave a huge greasy spot on the outside of even a fairly new engine which would give a bad perception to possible future customers looking for a new tractor. The paint on the inside kept the oil from seeping through porus castings and was cheap enough to do to be worth it for a better quality job. My 24 Olds has it, my 23 Olds truck has it and my 51 H has it in the trans and rear end. Not sure but I think my 28 chevy truck has it also.
