Valspar, Rustoleum and even John Deere also sell rattle-cans of JD yellow paint. Apparently there are more than one JD yellow though.

Generally, they were painted Highway Yellow (similar to Caterpillar Yellow) from the factory. However, it is not unusual to see companies paint them in their colors. A case in point, a local plumbing company in my area, Frank J. Strahl, paints all of their equipment red to match their trucks. I'm following that example on the one I'm building. I painted mine OSHA Safety Green, partly to be different, and partly because I had that color on hand.

Whatever you do, don't go to the JD dealer in town and buy it. WAYYY overpriced.
