[QUOTE="vinito, post: 96674, member: 12954"] I picked up a coupe cans of paint today in an effort to find a decent match to my machine now. Rustoleum “Deere Yellow” is just bright yellow as are a couple others. But Ace Hardware has a “Stops Rust” line of spray cans and their Deere Yellow is pretty close. It's not close enough to touch up and not show, but it's close enough to paint smaller parts and you have to look for it to see the difference. Pic is the gear boxes painted with the Ace Hardware “Deere Yellow” paint and in front is a cross bar with the PSX they used to paint my machine with. As you can see, the reflections change the color at different angles of light and the two yellows are close enough to get by. This means I can paint brackets and stuff as needed and they will look OK on the machine.

And oh yea!... The gear boxes are painted and ready to go in with the hydrostats once dry. I keep making slow progress. [/QUOTE]
