Default Cub Cadet restore....sorta
as i stated in my thread about my 108 the local fair starts on sunday. ive been waiting on custom decals from maple hunter to begin the paint job on my sons cadet 111, finally last thursday i got the call that they were ready to ship. i started this project on monday with dis assembly of the tractor, tuesday was spent trying to get one of the rear wheels off so i lost a day to that ,wednesday i got it all sandblasted and fixed a small crack in the new old stock fiberglass hood. this evening i started off with setting up the white parts on my parts rack and painting them, once they were painted i put the booth into bake which takes it up to 160 degrees for 30 minutes. once it came out of bake i rolled out the rack and set up the yellow parts and got them painted. heres some pics of how it looked when i started and how it looks now.

Are you sure that's how your supposed to set it up to paint? Where is the grass, how do the bugs get in the wet paint?

Looks great! Looking forward to the conclusion of this and your 108.

looking GREAT!

Around these parts the mechanics usually have the poorest running vehicles.
And the body men have the crappiest paint job vehicles.

the same is true around here, thats why i drive a new truck that way i dont have to work on it or paint it. when it comes to cub its a different story, i figure the smoother and shinier the paint is the easier it is to clean the grass off it.

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.
