In my experience, John Deere Yellow is close enough for painting entire 
assemblies.  If you use it for spotting in, the difference in the shade is 
~much~ more apparent and IMHO pretty unattractive.  Whether this bothers 
~you~ depends on how fussy you are, I guess.  JDY is available in many 
spray 
paint lines at various department stores, hardware stores, and farm stores.

Ron -- in our area, Manchester Hardware carries a decent quality farm 
impliment enamel line in spray cans.  Go in the door, turn left into the 
paint section, and go down to the endcap near the paint mixer.

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.

Congratulations on getting the tractor, and welcome to ET ownership.
