[AJD] JD Paint

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

I think the Classic should be a shade or two darker than the AG. At
least the new tractors we had were definitely a lighter hue than say a
4020 or am 8640.I always told my customers that so long as they felt
the new tractors out front looked like John Deere green to them it
really didn't matter. Just pick one and stick with it, don't mix them!
Of course TRUE period paint varied all over the place. There was a
fellow who had spent countless hours tracking them down and had
somewhere around 3 or 4 different shades for the two cylinder and New
Generation alone! Also, ever notice how an old original new old stock
part is a darker green than even the Classic? I think that things were
bit more loose and carefree back then so the paint did vary a bit over
the years.

Deere that the Classic was meant to be for older equipment, up to
about the 4440 tractors say. The AG was for everything since then.

somewhat darker in appearance than the new tractors we had sitting out
front.
