Aircraft paint stripper from your local auto parts store. As for rust elbow grease or electrolysis rust removal.

I also love electrolysis, but about a 30 gal rubbermaid container is the biggest vat I have at the moment. Even with using electrolysis you need to tire a wire brush afterwards to get it shined up good.

Just keep the sandblaster away from the engine, trans, and anything aluminum.

I bought a rubber 42gal. trash can, slopped the stripper on, let it sit for 15min. dropped it in the trash can, hooked up the battery charger & in 2 days was fantastiko. I then power washed the whole nose of the #122 & came out super. |

how long did you let it set? And I found the only way that tail strip stuff worked really good, was to get a visible paste on it and let it sit, not just wipe it on.

Some parts of a tractor with a good paint seal in areas is needles to be removed. I feather out the paint and recomend a primer sealer before primer. You will have the best results removing any paint with a 4 inch flap wheel. Check the grit for what you need.

The temperature of the stripper and the room temperature are both VERY important.
Chemically, this stuff just about "shuts off" under 65. A fairly thick and consistent coating is needed so as not to allow the stripper to dry out before it has a chance to penetrate the paint layer(s). |

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.
