Cleaning Cub Cadets
This weekend I'm taking my 107 and 1250 to a tractor show, and I need to clean them up a bit. They have original paint as well. Is using a pressure washer and rags the best way to go at it for cleaning? And I was going to use some degreaser as well for the grimy spots. Are there any other methods I should use to get them show ready? Thanks!

Keep the pressure washer directed away from anything that turns, its too easy
to inject water past seals or other components. Now if dissembling for painting/repair then that is a different situation. I think you see where I'm going with this caution. Over the years I've seen way to many needless problems caused by well intended/meaning ppl.

I would say no to a pressure washer just a nice soft sponge and some high quality Automotive detergent and microfibre cloths for drying
It is old paint and needs to be treated accordingly Oz

Cleaning Cub Cadets
Try one of the "All Wheel and Tire Cleaners" by Armor All or similar companies. It cleans and degreases without the need for a power washer. Simply spray it on and let it do its job for 10 minutes or so, then use a soft brush (an old paint brush works well) to go over everything...
Hose everything off and dry with compressed air from top to bottom. It gets the grime off in areas that can't be reached with the brush as well. I have been using it on all types of things over the years and it's easy on your hands...no need to wear gloves. It's the best cleaner for most everything that needs cleaning! I like cleaning the paint on my mower deck and other implements with this at the end of the season. The grime falls off and it doesn't mess up the paint like oven cleaner or other harsh chemicals. Oh, yeah...its also good for cleaning the wheels and tires on your car!!

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.
