Default Getting ready for the fair.

The local fair will be going on this week and I will have a booth setup for the powder coating business, here's just a few of the items that will be on display.

I needed to make a way to display the color samples without people being able to walk off with them, can anybody spot the cub parts?

Nice work Tim. I see drive shaft and couplers....

Lots of cool color samples. When you gonna do a fully coated cub?

Those wheels look like old cragars

Man I miss the fairs this time of year. Used to go to so many back home. Chatham, Rhinebeck, and Schylerville to name a few. Tractor pulls were the best.

probably never, its much easier to do bodywork with regular filler than with the stuff you have to use when powder coating, not that it couldn't be done but it would be alot more time consuming unless you had perfect sheet metal.

How big is your oven? Is it gas or electric?

I am coating the fenders and hood on a customers tractor now. Its actually pretty easy on his to hammer the dents out as you can get to the backs. The rear fenders turned out great shot a yellow on them that is close to stock color, then shot clear powder over it for extra protection. I have buffed powder coat out for really picky customers but end up charging them more for it.

the oven is 6'x6'x8' and runs off propane.


i dont have a problem doing a whole tractor in powder coat if there willing to pay for all the time it would take to do the bodywork if they wanted it perfect, for my own tractors i will probably stick to paint. iv'e been doing paint and body work professionally for about 20yrs and old habits die hard, the next tractor i do i plan to do everything but the sheet metal an rearend in powder coat but it will be a custom job.

Ahh ok. Mine is 4'x'4' 6.5' tall. I built it and its electric. But I need a bigger one but want gas as once you get above a certain size gas is cheaper to run as most place don't have 3 phase to run that much power. Did you buy or build yours? I been looking for burner setups for natural gas to build a larger one. I priced a 20ft oven and they wanted $35k for it threw a few places, way to spendy.

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.
