A local guy restored a 782 with rattle can paint. You would never know, and I even asked him, as it shines better than the paint on Dad's Cuda. He said metal prep before the spray, and proper wet sanding after the spray made it all work out.

I am giong to pain the bad spots on my 86 Dodge this way until I can afford a real paint job, It was very sharp.

Nice job.

Looking GREAT Diesel... I was hoping to do that to my 1200 next year,but I can't breathe the vapors from paints due to working in quarries and breathing silica dust. I get terribly sick when I inhale any amount.I have to even watch when I spray paint with cans. Even using a respirator wont totally help. Maybe I should drop my 1200 off at your place for an even trade...lol

That looks great!! One would never know that was a rattle can job. By the way I was able to get the spirol pins out with the proper set of roll pin punches from Sears. They came out like butter. You are much farther along than me on my 149 restore. Mine is completely apart waiting to start the stripping process. Over her I just need a little time and motivation.
Keep up the good work!!
Mark

It won't be long before I can start the paint on my 1650. What brand and colors of "rattle-can" primer and paint did you use? Did you actually strip the trans/diff and front axle, or just clean and paint? Sure looks nice!

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.
