He broke the bead on the tires so the cardboard is between the tire and rim.

These people usually make me sick and then I appreciate that they share their ideas with pictures.
That cardboard paint stopper is an excellent idea and seemed to work well. I've used paper towels and tape before so I could get the thin paper down as much as possible between the rim and tire but I think the cardboard is adequate and much easier to work with. Thanks for the picture Sam.

Do you let the air out of the tire so you can position the cardboard easier?

I'm also pleased to see how well this is coming out with just rattle cans! When you find a place that sells the paint you are using could you please offer up a link. I would like to purchase some white and yellow for my 73 since that is going to get an overhaul this winter.
Took the valve cores out of the tires and broke the beads so it's easy to push the tire in to get the card board behind the flange of the rim. After the paint dries just slip the cardboard out and air the tire back up. These all had tubes so it's simple. Did the rears today and got them back on the tractor. Pulled the controls out of the dash tower so I can get started on it next. At least now I can roll it around. I'll try to get some pics later.

Some pics from today. Got lucky with the dash tower, the rust from the leaking battery's over the years is only surface. Once done it will get a sealed battery.

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.
