Well, I haven't been on much in three days because I was getting ready to do this today:
100_4803 (Custom).jpg Finish coat tomorrow. IH white  I've had it with my POS Sears gun. I think it's clogged up a bit inside because the spray pattern is all messed up and half the paint goes down instead of straight out at the part. I switched to the HF HVLP gun after the first batch of primer and never looked back. I can't believe how much primer it took to cover all this stuff, almost 2/3 of a quart. I must have scraped 2 lbs of paint off of this thing. It was several dustpan-fuls. There were 2 and sometimes 3 coats of paint on everything, and all but the factory paint appears to have been applied with a brush; the paint accumulation was so thick in places that some parts didn't fit together right anymore. After I wire-wheeled the bucket, I discovered 2 more holes and about a dozen thin spots I had to build back up with weld, and then I had to re-weld the bushings in the bucket pivot. KW loader owners, you may want to check that and the main frame pivot for broken bushings, as things wear quickly if those bushings are not intact.

Ok Matt.....painting time is almost over....WHERE ARE THE PICTURES???? Gotta see how great it looks painted white. :ThumbUp: Great job so far. So wondering, you going to paint your 782 as well or you still pushing the "pure" thought of it being original only once in its life? Just curious, not that it needs to be painted.
The more I think of it...your old man is going to have a blast with your "toy" when you go back to school. Hope my son thinks like you when he gets to your age! :biggrin2.gif:

Got the white sprayed today. Still took 2/3 quart of paint and about 4 1/2 hours. I'll let everything hang for a couple of days before I start putting it back together. I need to wash/wax the tractor first.
100_4804 (Custom).jpg 100_4805 (Custom).jpg MH- 682 is just going to get washed and waxed. It is my nicest original tractor. I really don't like new paint; the hardness and durability of 30-year old paint can't be beat. The loader was so rusty I had no choice.

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.
