if you get the 1 stage paint . you'll get the hardener for it. or the hardener for the clear for the 2 stage. you'll also need some reducer for the paint's and or clear.
clear is 8 to 4 to 1
2 stage paint is 2 to 1
1 stage paint is 8 to 4 to 1 or brake it down to 2 to 1 to 1/4 (I think)

this time of year heat up your building, turn it into a oven. make sure the metal is warm. if its cold the paint will run and take forever to flash . just dust the paint on in coats. let each coat flash for about 15- 20 min. dont get in a hurry and it'll come out slick as glass.

Has anyone used this paint, its the IH White from TSC. What # white is this close to? I am painting an O so it needs to be similar to 901

http://www.tractorsupply.com/majic-r...-white-1030907

Yellow....

They have many Yellows, I think they switched from Valspar.

- Cat Yellow
- Schoolbus Yellow
- CC Yellow (Looks Orange?!?!)
- New Holland Yellow
- JD Yellow

Any of these close to the IHCC Yellow 483?

I've used the case paint, majic, and van sickle. Colors were similar enough for my taste, but majic and van sickle had a higher gloss finish. Your link was close to IH 935, van sickle 454 70 international yellow was close to case federal yellow.

Thank you for your help and input!

Do you think this one would be closer to the 901 White?

I've never seen a correctly restored Cub O with my own two eyes to see what shade of white the hood really is...

I prefer the cream color Cub Cadet paint for my 72 restoration. But if you dont, you can use a appliance white. Quite possiably Duke or other guys can help you out here with a brand and part number/recomendations. You will not want the Majic brand IH White as this color is closer to what I like for my restoration 72.

901 has a very slight green tint. Paul Bell claims that '69' Ford New Lime is an exact match.

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.
