Bob if you are using cub cadet yellow it is quite a bit brighter than the school bus yellow that more closely matches the federal yellow. But at any rate, you're right, that paint takes FOREVER to dry among other things. There are some of us that use it in the quart or gallon, mix it with thinner ad hardener and use a gun, it's better but not great.

I've used Martin senior from napa which is still an enamel and better yet. Haven't tried the dealer paint but most say it's very good, still an enamel.

The joker Sam Mac used Duplicolor safety yellow from advance auto and said it worked well.

I'm going to try my hand at a urethane when I run out of the gallon of school bus yellow but it takes a while to use it all up. I will say whatever you decide to use or try, I recommend 100 percent to get and use a hvlp gun and mix it right, you won't be dissapointed in the results as compared to the spray can! And remember, it's all about the prep too.

Alvy,

The urethane paint is worth it all the way around.. it drys quick and hard and holds up 4 to 1 against most enamels.

No Problem Sam. I have a good sense of humor, just didn't know if you were serious or not. Thanks for all the help from all that responded. This is a great forum with members with so much knowledge they are willing to share.. Another thanks to all who make it so great. Hope everyone has a great day.
Bob

Default Rattle Can Yellow for Cub 149

i agree Rust-oleum is the ticket. At less than 4 bucks a can you can do the whole tractor for 25 bucks. I just picked up the almond also need to see if it matches the white (off white). not the best pic but this is the 107 i have been working on this winter. First face lift and had a blast, begining and under construction
forgive me if the pics dont come through "first time caller long time listener"

I use Duplicolor school bus yellow, AKA Federal Yellow.
Almost a dead nuts match for the IH/Cub stuff.
About $4.50 a can at CarQuest.

You could have also gone to your local Lowes and ordered Valspar rattle cans in Cub Cadet Yellow. It takes 3 or 4 days to come in.

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.
