hopefully they used Iron Gard from the dealer, then it's easy... paint removal will happen on its own very rapidly, the 1st time it gets a drop of gas on it....
I won't waste the money on that paint again.

I'm sure there is a happy medium and with practice you can do to take off just what you want. I haven't tried it on the brushed on yellow of my tractor, but it worked on the no-prep sprayed on white. I have no idea if it will look better when your done though, it may look all smeary and dull.

I have had the same experience as Bill with mineral spirits. A guy was trying to sell me a 3 digit, but it didn't look right. After rubbing the yellow paint, the other digit was plain to see, but it took all the paint off.

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.
