White paint code for 102
 

Hello, Ive got a 102 I'm restoring. I didnt find a tag hanging vertically on the rear end, but I did find a horizontal tag at the back of the rear end, under the 3-point pickup. It says 158132. So.... I used that as my serial # and got paint code 901 mixed up. They used PPG 8665 as a cross reference. It is WAY too green/olive. That serial number points to a year 1966 model 102. And the paint chart in the forum says White 901. So did I use the wrong tag number? Where else can I find the correct serial number? And PLEASE tell me what is the correct paint. The original paint was a bright white, but it was repainted. But also, every picture Ive ever seen of a 102 is bright white. And Im also willing to accept my paint supplier mixed wrong too. I'll try to get a decent picture tomorrow.
Thanks

First, welcome to OCC....... :Welcome2:

The correct shade of white for your 102 is IH-901. That formula is NLA from Cub Cadet. See link: Paint Chart

Thanks for the welcome. Does anyone have any pictures of their 901 paint jobs?

FWIW,
Your 102 was built in June of 1966

Thanks, fins.
So the tag I found makes sense for the serial number of a 102. And the 901 paint ended the same time the 102 ended. My paint supplier definitely mixed the paint wrong.

The original color did have a slight greenish tint. If you don't like it, paint it whatever you want.

Hard to tell, but the color and paint job looks really good!
To be fair, you really need to bring the parts you painted out to daylight and pair it with the yellow of the tractor and not the bright white background.
