Well , "from the factory" would mean green manifolds with the paint discolored and possibly starting to rust from being run after assy. Also would mean carb and all fittings and linkeag would be all green paint (painted on tractor). Also would mean outer ends of axles would be bare steel w/possibly some grease residue on them. They were shipped with grease and burlap wrapped around them to protect. They also had green overspray on the radiator fins. All that being said....I would be willing to bet you will NOT find one done this way. Why? Because it looks sloppy! Which it IS! But that is the way mass production of farm tractors was. Most restorers don't reproduce the "slop"...they improve on it. Detail looks nice , even though it isn't 100% original. Decal placement changed depending on year. Lots of variables. When you find one you are interested in, take a digital photo and post it on here and everyone will tell you what isn't and is correct/accepted as original.
