This doesn't sound like a good start to your powder coating process, of which I know less than nothing about. Solder may melt at lower than 600??? Can you save the tank?
Regards,
Chris

I walked away when I saw what happened. Will probably strip the powder, split the tank, clean everything, mig weld then re-powder. On the bright side I really like the color.

It may be a good idea to Kream the inside of the tank after you get done welding and powder coating just to make sure it doesn't leak and it should help it last longer.

In better light the color is missing some of the green hue of the orignal IH white. It looks more like a beige/cream than the original color. Still I think it looks clean and once the whole thing is coated it should look nice.

At best I a hobbiest when it comes to powder coating so the finished product is not going to be perfect.

Lots of other projects going on right now so the tractor will be getting the least amount of attention for the next few months.

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.
