I was wondering if you guys could advise me as to what color the axle should be painted on my super M. I have seen it painted silver and have seen it black. My guess is it should be red.

I worked at FARMALL, right next to the big paint booth on the assembly line for a year. IH used heavy cardboard tubes to slide over the bar axles to keep paint off them. I painted the exposed axle bars silver on My old '54 Super H when I was a Kid... I wire brushed it off when I replaced the rear axle carrier seals a couple years ago. BARE steel is correct.

I don't think any of the axles had paint from the factory. Had 7 new Farmalls in the 50s, 60s and early 70s. Only one that had any paint was 560 and that was a very light overspray after wheels were on tractor. I moved the wheels and no paint under them. None of the rest had any paint on axles.

originally it didn't have much paint on it at all, just overspray from the wheel being painted. but don't they look nice painted black.

I don't think they were painted either, only problem with painting is when you move the wheels, the paint gets scratched. On my repainted C, I just wirebrushed off the rust. But, I think black looks better than red.
