Looks good to me as well. Agree on getting the parts into the sunlight alongside the yellow. Keep in mind that the whites have been bleaching out for the past 50-odd years. The '72 Cub 147 I just picked up is in original paint and just looks plain bright white instead of the more colorful 935, so it kind of throws you off as to the correct color.

The good news is, a color change is easy at this point. Wet sand it, shoot it and you'll have some nice heavy coverage. One other thing, I made the mistake of over-restoring my first 147. I went to the auto paint store and had them mix up the perfect IH yellow in the fanciest paint. Doesn't work right on a tractor, mainly because it chips and inevitable scrapes are much harder to hide with touchup. If a fella wanted to put a Cub back like they were originally, you would hold down the trigger until the paint runs. The factory absolutely poured the yellow on thick and heavy.
