We tried to replace a 40+ year old door, but, because of it being brick inside and out, no carpenter would even consider the install,, even at $4,000.

SO, I removed the door, spent two days taking off the previous coats of "house paint" and repainted it.

The wife picked a color,, I decided to try to mix some tractor paints that I had in the shop, and paint it with that, mostly as a primer.

Well, I ended up almost perfectly matching the color the wife had chose.

50% AC Orange
35% IH Red
15% JD Green

AND hardener,, I buy hardener from Tractor Supply (the paint, also)

That door was painted at about 2PM,, and it was dry enough to install by 5PM.

I considered the paint fully hard within 48 hours,, it was probably less.

I just painted mine using CASE primer and paint

Was 8 to 1 ratio. 8 parts paint 1 part reducer and 1 part hardner

The more hardner the faster the paint will dry.

Took me close to 2 quarts white and 2 quarts yellow to do the full tractor and QA-42A. Have the deck still to do this summer

I recommend of you can get a rattle can of each from case for touch ups

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.
