Default paint
Went to local Tractor Supply over the weekend to pick up some rattle can paint for my 122. I am preping rear wheel weights. They no longer have the factory match sprays. I need a new source for touch up paint, any suggestions?

I get my rattle can paint at my local Case IH dealer. They have the right colors for your cub. Its called Iron Guard and you wont be sorry for spending the money for this paint! Its well worth it IMO!

TSC paint was never a 'factory match' for a 122 anyway...their yellow is for the newer 2000 series and cyclops models, and the 'IH white' is pretty close to what was used on the 82 series.

I want to say because of copyright reasons. I happen to get my paint at the cubcadet dealer. It does cost. I did however, buy some JD colors Valsplar Restore rattle can, and this paint has held up pretty good for 2 years now. A can of Cub Cadet Yellow should pull you through for wheelweights, about 18.00 a can.

The cub cadet paint is a bit off color,IMO. the IH iron guard is some nice stuff. as a side note, if your painting white mix a little green in the paint, it tones it down to look more original like the 901 white

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.
