I realize this topic has been covered already, and I'm not trying to bring it back up. Just trying to offer some incite.
I've been restoring an 1928 John Deere model D, SN 56748. Last night I was working on the fan when I found the following shown in the pictures.
I apologize for the photos. All I had was a cell phone.
As I was stripping away the paint/rust on the side marked Front all I found was layers of green. However, as I began sanding and stripping the back side I found evidence of yellow paint hidden under the layers of green. This was on all 4 fan blades.
Maybe a suggestion that Deere did hand paint them yellow on the back side only.
Take it for what its worth. Just thought it was an interesting glimpse into the history of this tractor.
