Default Wheel painting

I just wanted to share how I set up wheels to paint, as you can see in the pics I hang them with a 5" 5/16 eyebolt through the valve stem hole. You can use a shorter bolt but make sure it's long enough that the eye isn't in the way while painting, the nut only gets threaded on flush with the bolt that way the nut will come off easy after painting.

I like the look of clean fresh painted wheels, next best after that is new rubber!

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.
