Default O original color for front rim?

When I bead blasted my front rims off of my O I found that the color at the bottom was Yellow. There was a white layer on top of the yellow. I have never seen a picture of a O with yellow front rims.

Any Ideas?

Hmmm.

That IS interesting. I've not heard of that before but my experience is limited. I'm sure someone will chime in with some enlightenment.

Perhaps an industrial model?

probably they where jd rims. about 4 or 5 years ago someone was selling brinly wheels that was an exact match to the cub wheels. you just had to change the bearings. I must have bought about 20 sets or more. I'm down to 2 . They came with tires also. They where cheap(price wise) They had the correct carlise straight rib replacement tires for the wide tires on the wf and nf cubs.
Do the wheels have grease fittings?

I believe these are the original rims for the O. The front tires were also original I believe. They were tough to get off but my mini tire changer did the trick. I don't know how I would have done it without it.

I never have seen yellow rims on an O. They where not original. They could have been put years ago.

It's possible that it could be a primer coat, or it was sent down the yellow paint line first then painted white.

I like your reply ending. Mine is, " If I can't fix it it's broke "
I like yours too. I might "borrow" it.

Both rims had the tube rusted to the rim and one had bad rust around the hole where the valve stem goes. I cleaned it up and using body work methods I put new metal where the old valve hole used to be and drilled a new hole opposite. Sanded and primed and now it is ready for it's new coat of paint.

I'm thinking it was a fluke. Gonna go with white.


Interesting to see the front plate below grill is white...

Mine was painted yellow.. Like this one:




Looks like I will have to repaint it.

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.
