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 a couple tractors here now that were painted several years ago an left outside. They show places like the headligts, steering shaft, ect. that just didn't get enough paint. Have good lighting so you can see. I like to paint outside but that is rather risky due to bugs or and unexpected wind. If you store your tractor inside it should be good for many years. 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!
