Picked the paint up today. Went to the PPG dealer and brought the shift cover along for a scan. The standard federal yellow is just, well, to yellow.
Anyway if anyone is interested in the correct color for these tractors it comes out to be a standard Chrysler color.

I had the same problem.. my local PPG mixed some Federal Yellow for me a while back and it just wasn't quite right.. Kind of bright yellow.. needed a hint more orange or something

I will have to try the Chrysler color.. let us know how it comes out!

Yeah Jay. I used the Case IH paint on the original which was Federal Yellow, and knew it was different than what's on the 1872... So I knew I needed something different to "match" as good as possible.
So figured what better way to match the color of the 1872 than take the best piece off it that wasn't faded, scan it and hope for the best.
I'll find out tomorrow and let you know how things turn out

Interesting Todd. The white that I picked up at my PPG guy was for a 1959 Chrysler/1972 GM fleet white. He got that from the DuPont paint code number because the PPG code listed isn't any good. What the heck is going on with todays paint? I'm not sure how close it is yet but I'll find out soon.

"Let there be Yeller paint"
Turned out well, and is a very close match to the original color... The floor on the other hand, not so much

Thanks Steve... What's wrong with your seat pan? Really isn't much that can go bad on them.

Todd,
That fresh yellow looks awesome! Floor not so good, but something has to get dirty for something to get clean!
The tractor is going to look and run real good too!!
I feel like I am slacking!
Regards,
Chris

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.
