"Old Caterpillar Yellow" is close as well.

In my experience, John Deere Yellow is close enough for painting entire 
assemblies.  If you use it for spotting in, the slight difference in the 
shade is much more apparent.  Whether this bothers you depends on how 
fussy you are, I guess.

I heard somewhere that New Holland Yellow is supposed to be a perfect 
match.  I have some in a quart can which I've brushed on in a couple 
places (got it at one of the farm stores, Quality Farm and Fleet or 
something), and it seems about right.
