Default Half finished with paint
I sprayed the 1772 with the correct Cub Yellow this past weekend. It turned out very nice and slick after wet sanding with 1500 and wax after. I cut and installed some new footpads with the added heel protection that runs up the fender a little. I think it looks good even though not so "original". I also added the tripple C decal between the rear lights. I know, not correct for that year, but I just like that look. I will be painting the hood and side panals next and will post when job is done.

I used Limco paint. I used it on both Supers and the color match was spot on. I say that because the 2072 has original paint and I touched up some places on the fenders and blended the Limco paint into the Cub paint. After the wet sanding and wax it looked good as factory. The 1772 had a lot of Tractor Supply paint and took more of the Limco paint. After scuffing the TSC paint, the Limco paint stuck great and cured the next day. This paint was mixed and put into a spray can. I plan on upgrading to a paint gun and use my air compressor. I have only painted two tractors with a gun and I used factory Cub paint. I hope to paint the rest of the 1772 this way.

The paint job looks great. To me the white looks just as good, but I know pics can be deceiving.

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.
