Default Removing old decal adhesive on my 1872
I've tried lots of cleaners, some pretty powerful ones - not paint remover yet. I would like to get this goo off so I can paint followed by another set of decals.

If you have found a magical decal remover, please share! TIA Steve

I used an industrial heat gun to remove most of the decal and enamel reducer to remove of what adhesive remained on my 1811. To ensure that the finish is not harmed by the reducer you are using, try on a hidden area. 3M does market adhesive remover.

To remove the sticky goo that remains try Eucalyptus oil

Little bit of heat and some pb blaster will do the trick.


Of course clean really well with acetone or something before putting the new decal on.

Thanks for all the suggestions, good ideas all. I need to get a plastic squeegee/scraper(s), some Rapid Remover and Eucalyptus oil. I have a heat gun and most anything else mentioned. Steve

Heat gun or hair dryer to remove decal. Acetone will make short work of the adhesive. Wear gloves.

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.
