Thanks for all the replies. The paint is Van Sickle brand Federal Yellow and I.H. White. They had a listing for Cub Cadet yellow but they didn't have it and couldn't order it. After some research I decided the Federal Yellow would be alright. It seems like there was quite a range of opinions as to what color is right but I guess Federal Yellow was close enough and probably the only option without going to a higher dollar paint. It is lighter than stock though. My only complaint is that the paint is really easy to scratch, but I don't have any experience with any other paints so I don't know if its normal or not. I added hardner and thinned it exactly how the instructions say to.
As for the Mule drive I just noticed yesterday after looking at some pics of other 123's that it wasn't stock. The original owner must have put in the frankenstein bolts. He was the IH dealer in town, so he probably knew his way around them. I'm sure that's why it has all the options, it even has a charge indicator from the newer tractors mounted on the side of the dash tower. I realized when I went to put the decals on that I didn't have the plate that goes between the fenders, but I think I have one in the bone pile, I'll just have to look. And no I didn't get the belt guard for the tiller, but its not bothering me too much at this point. I took it outside this evening and took some pictures. Then after that I put the tiller in the dirt thats behind it in the pictures. It did exactly what I expected and I'm feeling better about all the money and time invested in it. It will probably be used extensively and be with me for quite a while.

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.
