I like PPG's shop line, Omni. I use the epoxy primer and the single stage acrylic urethane. It's reasonably priced and very durable.

X2 I also used it on my CCO. Sprays great, just wished the yellow covered a bit better....

It doesn't matter what brand you buy, all yellow covers like crap for some reason.

Default Um, hope I don't catch to much grief!!

Well um, kinda . I use Rust Oleum old caterpillar yellow and have almond that I have not used yet. I use ace rust stop yellow primer and will use rust oleum white primer for almond. I did some research on colors before I went this road, as spray cans are my only option for now. I need to buy an air compressor and spray gun. I'm happy with the way my first refurb is going and look forward to doing it the "right" way

oh ya, I'm getting 15oz cans for $32/case which is 6 cans, not a bad deal I think!

Default Valspar yellow vs Rustoleum old cat yellow

Sminkey , Finally got my case of old cat yellow and the sun came out today .
I painted one pulley cover with the old cat yellow , the other with TSC Valspar cub cadet yellow . In the center is a round cover off frame of my 123 for a comparison to the original IH paint .




This picture is the Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy Almond from Homedepot . I think it is a good match for the white. While spraying over a deck pulley that still had original paint , wow it looked close as it was going on could not tell the difference . The only white I have original is my faded scratched hood not the best for comparison but looks close .

If you're good with rattle cans to heck with a paint gun and compressor. My dad can't paint with a gun it just doesn't work well. Give him a rattle can and watch out. pro quailty paint job at his fingertip. If only they put more colors in the industial rustolium cans! I never thought about Old Cat Yellow may have to look at that. We did use almond on his 127.

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.
