Vansickle paint you have to use transport yellow, maybe a litlle off color wise, as close as you can get though through them. If repainting the entire tractor would not be much of an issue as it will all match. I can't remember off the top of my head how it exactly differs from CC paint, could pick up a quart of some other color to mix in the safety yellow to try and make it look closer. Unless you are trying to make a 100 point show tractor, not many would notice the hue of yellow you chose is incorrect, they'll just notice how nice it looks!
Just thinking, if they have it in rattle can, they could most likely order it for you in gallons and quarts, whatever you need. I found van sickle paint site on line, here is a link for you:
http://vansicklepaint.com/tractor/vscolorcard.html
says they have international yellow in paint chart!
after a closer look, found this link:
http://vansicklepaint.com/tractor/vs...#International
scroll down the page, show they have cub cadet yellow stock number 454, I think that looks like the more modern era yellow, continue to scroll down to harvester they show a stock number 450 which references model number 483, I am sure that is the yellow you would want. I think I saw a paint chart on this site that if I remember correctly the #483 was listed in that chart!
Found the link to the Cub paint chart here you go!
