[AJD] JD Industrial Yellow Paint

[Mitchell Daly]

John,

When they brought back out the old construction yellow several years ago, I 
bought several rattle cans to give it a try because my 1956 420U came from 
the factory yellow for the State of Maryland. Having been able to get 
through the layers of 2 re-paints down to the factory layer, the color 
matches (to my eyes) just about perfectly.  I'm going to use it when I get 
around to repainting the tractor.  Good luck on yours.
