This is a can of paint that i picked up today. I plan on using on the wheels and hood of my 73. It's called "Cadet White" 759-3264. Is there a difference between the paint on the new cubs and the paint on the older ones?

There were three different whites from 1961 to 1989.. IH 901, IH 902, and IH 935.. the Cadet white you have is the same as the IH 935..

The 902 white would be correct for a 73 I believe, but what you have is close and would look fine im sure.

There is a nice chart in the tech section of this forum

Here is a link for you

Good luck and have fun!!

Like Alvy said, they are all supposed to be 483 Federal Yellow thru 1989.. It does vary a bit from brand to brand or depending on how heavy the guys the quys fingers are when mixing the paint..

Use the link above, Roland put together a nice chart with the codes and part numbers for various brands of paint..

Its just paint, it comes back off. Any paint is better than rust. If its not a pristine original condition machine worth preserving as is, then have at it. Drills, welders, torches, plasma cutters, discarding USEABLE original parts---then you have entered the realm of blasphemy.

Your machine, paint it to suit what you want it to look like. I have no issue with people painting a Cub red and white if that is what they want. When I painted my 1872 project I built I painted it red with white wheels and a black frame. It suits me and most people like it.

The ones that do not, well I do not care. I built it to suit me and I am happy with it. I say go for it. and good luck.

I INSIST that my Cub Cadets remain absolutely factory stock!!










The yellow paint in this pic is "old" CAT yellow directly from a Caterpillar dealer,,,

For comparison,, the mower deck is the original powder coat, it was not 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.
