This sounds like there is a consensus. I'll think about these ideas.

Thanks!

I wouldn't complain if anyone else contributed! ;^0

Get some hard maple and carve the letters in it and then use that as a
pattern for the panel. Try the job on some scrap sheetmetal first so you
get the routiine.
If you end up with some roughness in the face of the letters, you can always
bondo that flat without any problems as it will be thin.
Good luck!

I think it needs the "John" part of Deere also. So, I would just
look for the logo on a plaque or medallion and just stick it on, like
Ford and GM and what ever that foreign company is, do:
