So far my research only indicates the yellow and white ones. Maybe someone painted yours red and another PO repainted it back. The only red color I know of is inside the rear end.

When I wire wheeled mine down I had the same red as well as green as primers on the rear end. Not sure what IH used for primers back then; I dunno if that is original or a PO paint job.

I assume you are talking about my Sig Picture, that is not my O just a nice looking one, but I am not sure. I think it was white originally on all of them, but not sure, I personally think it looks better white than Yellow.

The Cub Original was NEVER painted red from the factory. The red seen in the "cast iron" parts is this.....Glyptal

It was used as a sealer / primer.

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.
