They probably never looked better
Really colorful! #1 I’d say a manure spreader axle under a homemade box, #2 side delivery rake, #3 corn planter, #4 sickle mower, #5 pull type plow, dump or bull rake, #6 corn planter (without seed boxes) #7 manure spreader. How’s I do?

Fresh paint shows little use.
I’m pretty sure the corn planter is John Deere, so the colors are correct. The bottom manure spreader is New Idea and was originally painted orange. Not sure about the side delivery rake but there was no brand painted red, white and blue. Same with the dump rake and plow, not sure of the original brand or color.
I know this stuff was painted just to be a yard ornament and it certainly is colorful! Farmers are and always have been color conscious and are-were oftentimes color branded. John Deere buyers especially, if it ain’t green, they don’t want it on the farm. No criticism whatsoever intended towards you, just that farmers consider color-brand important. To us that is important, as silly as it sounds to others.

Excellent! I wonder the implements even looked that good when new!
