Rustoleum #7770 almond is very close. I compared it side by side to IH white after spraying and letting them both dry. As far as the yellow, I took a small sample to my local hardware/paint store and the guy did a computer match. I haven't been able to find a yellow in a rattle can to match IH yellow. If you don't have paint spraying ability you might have to settle for a yellow that's a little different or you might get lucky and find a closer match than I have.

I would also use a gray primer instead of red oxide. The lighter color doesn't effect the color of the finish coat as much (so I've been told).

Good luck...Wayne

Go to Tractor supply. I bought both Yellow and white Valspar rattle cans and it's a factory color match 4.99 a can. I did my back rims with 1 can. I then stocked up on 5-8 cans.You will be impressed at the color match!!

Edit...Valspar numbers are 5339-26 white 5339-25 Yellow.
If I were restoring a tractor, I would also go to Napa and have it mixed ,but I am not no painter and I am happy enough with. Merk has some dandy looking tractors there,but I would be afraid of scratching them if I owned them.

I use Napa brand Cross Fire acrlic enamel paint.

TSC sells a paint that is close to the yellow and white that Cub Cadet uses.
It's close...not close enough for me.

Hey Merk do you have the paint codes for the Cub colors?I don't like the idea of spray bombs to paint my stuff on a complete machine.

dieseldog558,

If you are going to use spray bombs, then the Valspar from TSC is the way to go, the color match really is pretty close and the price is pretty good too.

I use it a lot for individual parts, Cub Cadet Yellow 5339-25 and Cub Cadet Beige 5339-26 just like bignastyGS said.

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.
