The John Deere-made paint seems to have the most acceptance for this later "oranger" shade: Note that a couple of the examples are actually the earlier 1930s tractors that should have the lighter yellow. Some examples of the orangish yellow in orignal pictures, original tractors, or restored examles: There were probaly plenty of choices for a yellow color, if not just varieties in the paint used originally. Some tractors from this time also appear to be a very light yellow, like the earlier highway yellow. Unlike the earlier industrial yellow, this paint has a "hint" of orange, making it darker. This is the most common yellow found on industrial equipment made by John Deere. MI, RI, all numbered models, New Generation Standard on models: later LI (this model was also painted with earlier yellow)

This is definitely more "orange" than some of the photographs, and original tractors indicate. It is just my OPINION, but many of the restored AIs/BIs/DIs are painted the wrong shade of yellow.the owners used the avaliable John Deere industrial paint "for equipment prior to 1992". It is very close to the normal JD agricultural yellow. The little original paint on my grandpa's DI is also a very light yellow. This is from interpetation of period photos. However this yellow was much lighter than what was used on the later industrials, I have even heard it referred to as "Bug Yellow" for certain LIs, but it appears that this color is the same as the earlier AI, BI and DI tractors. The normal paint scheme for these tractors was "Highway Yellow". Seems to be the standard paint for Tractor models: AI, BI, DI, L and early LI (this model also may have been painted with later yellow), for later models in the 1940s and after, seems to be an optional color. More of a pure yellow, with no hint of orange Also-It may have been stripped and painted, but not a very high chance of that on an old tractor, unless it has been "restored" at one time or another.Ī very Light yellow, sometimes known as "Bug Yellow". It is up to you to decide which layer to use. These tractors probably changed owners many times over their lifetimes, and often, a new owner didn't like the old paint job. There may be green over yellow (common), or even more layers. Also, there may be many layers of paint on your tractor. Try to look inside a toolbox, under a frame, or anything shaded from the sun. Heat from the engine may have changed the shade of the paint also. Beware of fading, or fuel/exhaust stains. Try to save some samples for color comparison. The first source that you should look for your paint color is your tractor itself. The Number One source for finding the color of your tractor. However, if your Deere is a different color, go to the bottom of this page! This page deals mainly with the industrial yellow paint colors. The more proof, the better! I would also like to know the manufacturers and code numbers of the various paint colors. If you have painted your industrial tractor, and can remember the color, email me.
And remember, this is how "I" interpet things, and I could be wrong! So take anything you see below with a grain of salt. It also involves some "interpetation" of black and white photos, which is always a risky proposition! Depending on the type of film used, and the lighting conditions, not to mention the cleanness of the tractor, the paint colors can seem to be several shades "off"! Even modern color pictures are not immune to this problem. Much of this information came from owners of the various tractors, some from magazine articles, different books, and some from guesses on my part. I have tried to find information about the paint schemes of the various industrial tractors. Painting your Industrial Deere? Come here! Paint colors for industrial John Deeres The Paint Page
