Cub Cadet Original questions
Hey all,
Im restoring a cub cadet original and coming down to paint time and now starting to pay attentions to the little details, First question my drag link for steering has some slight bends in it, is it suppose to have bends or be perfectly strait. Second my dash has a hole drilled in it for a power gauge for when it charges the battery located above the steering wheel, is that original? or is it an accessory because i cant find a dash decal with a hole cut there. Third PAINT i needto buy paint, im going to paint with a paint gun so planning to order by the gallon, serial is in the 37k range so wat color yellow and white should i use to keep it original. Also paint for the engine block, Where should i get that? Ill post some pics as of progress so far, Thanks for your help! Liam

You can paint the engine black if you like. All replacement engines were black.
IF....you are going to paint the cooling fins, you may encounter discoloration if you use #483 yellow.

The paint on the block doesn't need to be high temp, it will only discolor the paint on the fins around the exhaust.

Good to have you Liam. There are some of us that are currently doing Originals now like Zippy and myself and others that have done them as well. Post some pictures for us as we all like to see what you're dealing with. Does yours have any options? Fenders?

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.
