J-Mech, are you sure you can get cub white in DuPont? A few years ago I went to the auto body buddy of mine who has the mix your own, and there wasn't a code for the IH white.
Has that changed in the last few years?
Yes, you can get the white. I'm not ready to paint anything just yet, I don't like to paint when it's cold. My shop hold heat about as well as a tent, so unless I have to, I don't paint in the winter. When I get paint I'll post the codes.

This is a great thread! Nice work on the tractor. Are you doing all of this work by yourself? Maybe I'm getting lazy in my older age, but I really enjoy the helping hands of my two teenage boys when working on these old tractors and they like getting their hands dirty too. They are plenty strong too - which my back appreciates.

Have you considered an electric lift? I'm in the hunt for a 1200 and scavenged an electric lift out of a 1250 parts tractor.

Good luck,
Bill

I do everything myself except on this tractor I had many of the parts sandblasted and primed professionally (well, maybe not so professionally, but I did pay to have it done!). I hadn't thought about an electric lift. I won't be putting a blower or tiller on this tractor, so a spring assist would handle a blade or deck OK.

Progress pics

Got the lift installed (thanks, Lew), front tires mounted, and the manual lift arm installed. Installed headlights in the hood, and did some more painting of parts. Supposed to go pick up the dash tower, rear rims, and a couple snow blades from the sandblaster tomorrow.

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.
