Cub narrow frame paint colors
 

I was thinking about it, and I wonder: How nice it would look if I painted the grille casting on a narrow frame white like the 185 lo boys?

Anyone ever done this?

Also, anyone know the font of the current Cub cadet logo?

Looks kind of intersting, doesn't it?

What model Cub? The grille housing on the QL you're working on would already be white.

Thinking on getting a 1X6 or 1X7 series tractor, maybe a 126.

Go for it, can always reshoot it.

I bet when IH was in the design stage at some point they looked at that combo.
Before a final decision was made.

Never know, maybe they did!

If you get a 126 I suggest doing it original, they are a rare model tractor. Otherwise I say go for it.

a little off-topic, but here goes: My cub cadet 1000 has a white hood as well as the sheet metal dash area, but the nose and side covers are more of a cream color. Is this possibly a tractor that has been assembled from miscellaneous parts?

More than likely was repainted with wrong white. Should be cream color

Either way, 126 or not, I want a gear drive narrow frame. We have a 124 and 72 but they aren't mine.

And hey, I could always just repaint the grille casting yellow like original. Depends on how it looks.

Thanks. If it was repainted in the past, it was a very long time ago, and never cared for since, also they went to a lot of trouble to put the correct decals on.

Start a new thread and put some pics up. We shouldn’t hyjack this thread.

It's fine by me, I just like seeing discussion.

I like seeing things painted all original.... but I make exceptions on custom builds. For example, changing a grill on an '82 series tractor to look like an 88 series IH tractor, then painting it in the same color scheme, with custom decals. Maybe changing an accent color, like on a lift handle changing it to black because the chrome is rusty. Or painting a S/G black even though they were yellow from the factory...... but for the most part I like it like it came from the factory.

Looks good on paper. I say go ahead and shoot the grill white.

Maybe, just maybe, the "nose and side covers" came off another tractor that sat outside...:bigthink: OR, your tractor sat outside, and the "nose and side covers" didn't. Anyone's guess.

I was thinking that along with painting the grille casting white, I would also use the 1st gen 1x4 and 1x5 decals (Entirely blue) or 1x6 and 1x7 decals (black with blue outline) and make the center part black to look like the Lo boy decals, or modify 149 decals to fit and make them say the type of tractor, like 124 or 127 to get that mini-lo boy look.

How about you just buy my 185 Lo-Boy and you can have that Lo-Boy look without all the work....:bigthink:
I might even truck it part of the way.

Main problem is we have no space, and I don't have enough money, and I also have no motivation.

If you want to repaint the grille casting white, then you should think ahead. What color are you planning on painting the grille itself? It would have originally been white, too and to me, that would look stupid with a white grille casting and a white grille.

Cub Cadet 123

Black headlight panel, black grille, with headlights. Just like the 185 lo boys.

Imagine that- A "104 lo boy", Eh?

Think I got a narrow frame
 

I think I got a narrow frame. We drove past our farm (we live on the corner, grandparents live in the center of the farm) and I saw a narrow frame up on the trailer after my brother and grandpa went out to an auction. I think it's mine, just waiting for a confirmation text reply.

You say "we" a lot.
"We" have no room, "we" drove by, "we" live by our grandparents...... Who's "we"? Are you a kid? :bigthink:

"We" refers to me, My family, everyone who owns our farm.

I grew up on a family farm..... the only people who thought more than one person owned it was the kids. It was grandads farm, and we got to help. Unless you pay the bills, or work for free to build equity, or are buying into it..... you don't own it.

"Your" family? As in your wife and kids? Or as in your mom and dad, brothers ect...??

You didn't answer the question.....

Mom, dad, brother, sister, Etc.

Yay, I got a 108!

Congrats!:beerchug:

Do you harass everybody on this site? Is that your shtick? Trolls come and trolls go. I prefer it when they go.

Yeah, Now i've got a 108 Gear drive and a 1250 hydrostatic. It would be funny if they wre both the same year! :biggrin2:

Better check the post count there new guy.

Highly unlikely they will be the same year. Those models we're never made at the same time but it would be possible if the 108 is late production and the 1250 is early production.

It's possible. As it would turn out I pulled a stupid and posted the wrong 108 pictures to facebook... Everyone was probably like: "Nice 108." but alas... Wrong tractor.
And I forgot the "Out" in "turn out".

Yeah, 16,000 posts and I'm a troll. :bash2:

Personally I don't like whiners.

Anyway, I like to know when I'm talking to a kd. I expect certain things from adults. I'll treat a kid differently than an adult. I will have a little more patients.... but seems like kids that join up here end up being know it alls, or argumentative. (Not all of them by any means.) It's a handy piece of info knowing if you are dealing with a 14 yr old, a 25 yr old, or a 50 yr old. Usually you can narrow it down without asking..... at least to an age bracket. I was pretty sure of the age range before I asked.

I'm confused. How did you post the wrong pictures of your 108?

There were two 108s at the auction, posted pics of the ones I didn't buy instead of the one I did buy.

Mudrig150, on your signature you have this sentence.
"I feel too mature to be only 14... What is life?"
So are you 14 years old?

Why would I say "to be only 14" if I'm not? But yeah, I am 14, not even a teenager yet (I think) and I feel a bit too mature. Hm... My birthday's slowly creeping up, though!

Pretty sure fourteen ends with teen so I think that make you a teenager. Glad to see the younger crowd getting into Cub's.
