I think there are 2 situations to think about. First there were the official IH paint specs, which you can find online at the Wisconsin historical site. Also ERTL models follow those same paint specs closely. Then there is what really happened in the plants from year to year. I'm sure the order of assembly had a lot to do with painting. The reason I say that is I painted a 1930's Little Genius #8 to factory specs earler this year. You could not see any evidence of paint on it, but as I was taking it apart piece by piece, I found paint on the inside surfaces of many things that contradicted factory specs. For example, the steel tailwheel had red paint on its surface that bolted to its hub. So did the hub. According to specs, the tailwheel should have been white and the hub/arm blue. Another example, the inside of the trip clutch was white. Specs say it should have been blue. One more example, unexposed surfaces of the hitch were red, not black per specs. Even though I painted mine to specs, I believe it was originally all red with white wheels. By the way, it looks kinda gaudy, like something painted up special for a 4th of July parade. If I were to do it again, I'd probably paint it red with white wheels. You can see a picture of my plow under implement photo's. Oh to answer your question - the specs say the arms that hold the coulters should be black. I think the coulters themselves would have been a natural looking hardened steel. ERTL paints both of them blue.
