Is the valspar yellow any thicker than cub cadet yellow. We had a lot of trouble trying to get the cub cadet paint thick enough when we did our 1650

Yellow paint covers like crap, regardless of brand. Lots of thin coats will be required.

Maybe this is a rookie question, but where can you find yellow primer?

John deere Buff Primer is yellow. I believe John Deere paints are made by Valspar.

Case IH also sells buff primer. Ive heard their paint is Valspar also.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
