These looked just as bad as yours. Blasted, primed, then rattle can case paint.
With the paint, tires, bearings, etc. I've got about $70 in them.

I had my 6-12 Original rims I got from Cubcrazy sandblasted. Right away flash rust began, so I wiped down with a 99.9% industrial alcohol then primed with Valspar primer in a rattle can. After a few days, I cleaned and painted with a automotive primer sealer and let that set up a few more days. Then after that, I went ahead with the Valspar Oil Base primer, and that's where the rims are at today.
The front two rims, however I cleaned down to a sparkling metal shine. It was work, but my mindset at the time simply could not be defeated by rims that looked very much what the original poster has posted pictures of. I started off by removing the old Goodyear tires that were so commonly used on the IH Cub Cadets. I save them because they always could be tubed and used for the IH#2 cart, or anything else for that matter. I used quite a lot of different tools for this task. Those were a small wire brush, scotch brite, various types of sandpaper, drywall sanding mesh{worked really well on dry rust}, and The Works toilet bowl cleaner. When the rims were new shining metal inside and out, I done the same primer methods mentioned above with the 6-12 rims. The toilet bowl cleaner will really take care of the basket pulley. Then you can follow up with a screwdriver and pick off the paint. That will flake off, but a little scratching will be in order. The screw driver is a very handy tool in paint removal, believe it or not! My steps could be called the hard way, but as with my current, on going 72 fix-up, I have saved money to buy other things for the tractor. Helps when you don't have a rush to complete the project, too!

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.
