    Not just green, green and yellow together...   ;-)   neither color by 
itself is too bad.  Actually I have usually found Deere's parts to be in the 
ball park with everybody's. Some stuff is quite reasonable. I did think that 
a carb float valve for my 1948 John Deere A was a bit much at $23 about 10 
years ago but then a friend gave me an extra new one he had on hand for 
free. He came out OK on it though as a few years later when his Deere 45 
combine variable speed ground drive gave out I remembered his kindness and 
gave him a complete good drive assembly off of one of the parts combines I 
had then.

    On the other hand you could take a rusty old coffee can and paint it 
green and yellow and put a JD decal on it and some fool would pay $100 for 
it at an auction...   ;-)   ;-)   ;-)
