Way better than stickers!!! GOOD JOB!

If you are referring to the pan that the springs bolt on to, it is yellow. If that isn't the part you are talking about, can you be more specific?

Thanks...no i mean the actual seat...im planning to take advantage of having an upholsterer as a friend...mine is white, but looks to be a lighter white...(through all the rust of course) and i like it vs the black ones i see everywhere...

In the pics in a book I have, all the restored quietlines the seat back (metal part) is painted white. The vinyl is black. Lew (darkminion) or Roland (R. Bedel) would be my choice of go-to guys on this question though.

Nothing wrong with being picky. If it was mine I'd be picky about the color too! One thing I can't stand, is when the color is wrong.

I do not know the answer. In the pics I have, it appears to match the wheel rim color.

Looks Great! I used decals on my 1200,but that looks way better! The seat is the same color as the rims and hood and side panels.

Rims and hoods are different colors.

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.
