Larry, you did a fine job on it, that thing looks beautiful. I may try the Iron Guard next time I spray. Did you buy it local or have it shipped? My local IH dealer closed several years ago so I will need to have it shipped to me now.

after the experience with Iron gard on my son's Original, I have to say "never buy again" the 1st time it gets a drop of gas onto it, it's peel city. I'm talking coming off in sheets. on fresh sandblasted metal, on a machine that got painted and set aside in the attic for a couple years before assembly, so it was WELL cured....

yes I am, no more no less.... all I can go by to judge is my experiences with it, this isn't heresay, and I certainly am not trying to "start" anything at all.

this Original was sandblasted professionally and taken directly to a high school career center body shop, applied with the correct primer and hardener by the instructor himself.... as a demonstrator. and we were both PO'd and disappointed when this happened.... he had a lot of hard work and time into that machine. paint bought right from a Case/International dealer.
next time I plan to try a regular single stage, automotive enamel.

and with that I have to say that "I CAN'T be the 'only' one" that has had these results with this paint.....can I????

I have to say that I have never had issues with the Case IH iron guard paint with peeling. I have painted many farm tractors and a few Cub Cadets with it and the only issue I have had is it will stain if it comes in contact with anti freeze or some chemicals. I have to ask was it actually sand blasted or soda blasted? If soda blasted it must be treated to allow paint or primer to adhere. If I sandblast I sand with 80g on a D/A sander and then wash with wax and grease remover before applying primer and paint. On my last project I used the iron guard with hardener and then clear coated it so it should not stain. I am sorry that your paint peeled but since I do not know how it was prepped I cannot tell you what went wrong. Please do not take this the wrong way I am just sharing my results using the paint.

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.
