My Cubs aren't trailer queens...they are workers.

I have one Cub painted with the TSC Valspar paint in 2005. I'm not impress how the finish looks today. The yellow has no shine left in it and the white never look right to me (wrong shade). Myself I will spend the extra money and use a spray gun.


One thing we ALL have to remember the following: this is your Cub...paint it anyway you like.

FWIW,
Some years back, well maybe more than I want to admit, I painted a manure spreader with red paint that I purchased @ tractor supply. It is now faded pink.
Also I purchased some JD green for an old field sprayer,
it is now faded a flat green/grey.
Darn, I says to myself, no more cheap paint!!
So I go to IH and buy genuine iron guard IH paint to put on my IH 400 Loader tractor.
Nope, not much better, it is faded flat red also, although it isn't faded pink, but it's only been 6 years or so.
So my take is, if it sits out like most farm machinery, and not housed it is going to dull/fade

You've also gotta use hardener, too...it doesn't matter what kind of paint you use, if it doesn't have hardener, it's going to fade.

Bright red fades bad enough as it is...

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.
