Default Cub Cadet Original paint color?

Yesterday I was cleaning up the starter generator bracket on our Original while waiting for the starter generator to be rebuilt. I decided I wanted to paint it and I had an extra can of Case IronGuard paint in Federal Yellow from my Case 646. I painted the bracket and it looks like a good match. Our Original has well worn and faded paint so I'm not sure of the exact original color. Has anyone used the IronGuard Federal Yellow? and is it a close match to the original color of a Cub Cadet Original? Thanks.

It is indeed...at least I sure hope so!!! As far as I've gathered there's only been one code for the yellow - 483, and for a short period with an added rust inhibitor - 483b....this is the irongard match also known as federal yellow...

Thanks for the information. I thought it looked like a close match. I guess I got lucky having two different brand tractors the same color. The IronGuard paint seems to be a good paint that goes on thick and covers well but it's not cheap.

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.
