Default Paint Suppliers
Hi All...

Everybody knows that you can get paint from Cub Cadet dealers.

Most folks also know that correct paint is available through Case/IH dealers.

What almost no one remembers is that there is a former division of IH, very much still alive, and also has the correct paints. They even use the IH paint codes with a 0 in front of the as in 0901 for the Original white or 0483 for Federal Yellow!!

It's called the International Truck & Engine Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navistar Holdings.

Just FYI

FYI that's a completely different shade of yellow than what's on our IH CCs...that paint matches the orangish-yellow on the cyclops and 2000 series tractors.

I'm referring to the Valspar and TSC (probably the same thing) "Cub Cadet Yellow". It matches the orangish-yellow found on 2000 series and the "cyclops" models, and probably everything built since then, too.

There may have been an 3rd intermediate shade of yellow between the IH Cub Cadets and the orange crap I mentioned above, as several of my yellow CCC built 82 series tractors have what appears to be a bit different shade of yellow than my IH tractors, but it's hard to say.

In case you may be referring to my "orange crap" comment, I was referring to the shade of paint itself and not the brand of paint. However, rattle can paint is no match for paint with hardener applied with a gun in terms of shine and fade/wear resistance.

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.
