Yep, thats crappy MTD powder coat. I'm in the process of doing a 3K deck that has the same issue. I soaked all the small parts it in my electrolysis tank and blew 90% of the powder coat off with compressed air.

Yep it would have cost a couple dollars more to have properly prepped the metal before they coated it.

Some Cyclops seem to be pretty well coated and others just seem to be rust buckets.

The Super I have now has (knock on wood) very good paint on it, practically no rust. Then I've had an 1863 that looks like it was being held together by the paint. I'm starting to think it's 70% owner care, 30% what day of the week it was painted.

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.
