Got everything in pieces waiting for parts. I figured I should go ahead and paint some parts. The original color is sort of orange yellow. I could not find the right color spray bomb. The closest I can find locally is caterpillar yellow. It looks good. Is that sacrilegious to the John Deere Gods or anything?

Hi,

Wouldn't be to me. Heck, I'd likely paint one with the modern green...

Not sure just how I'd add the yellow stripe. Probably be close the 430, though.

Only source for paint in aerosol can is Deere old construction yellow other than having it mixed.

Are you saying that you think you read that John Deere owns Caterpillar Tractor Co.?

I think the only thing in common with John Deere and caterpillar is their current yellow color. It is called safety yellow.

I got a spray can from Steiner and it was an extremely good match to the John Deere Old Construction Yellow.
