I have been tossing around ideas on my paint scheme, still nothing is set in stone. Originally I planned to paint only the wheels, deck, and brinly adapter white, making everything else red. Lately I have been thinking about adding a little more color to it, have been tossing around the idea of adding white to the engine, lower dash, and tunnel cover. Another idea was to stick to my original plan, except for changing the engine color to gloss black, looking at the red cubs (82 series), there motors (although not visible because of the side covers) are kind of a semigloss black. As of right now, this is the plan I am leaning towards, since my engine will be visible, I think the gloss black would really set it off, plus I am kind of anal and like shiney things ( I even mirror polished the carb bowl)...lol. If you looked over the thread, you should have seen my custom made decals for the hood!

I like the 56 series tractors so that is the layout I am pulling for, but what ever pattern you use will look good. Can't wait to see the end results!!

Any idea what model CCs have a grille similar to the 66 series ag tractors? I've seen some later CC GTs (red ones) with the 'tic tac toe' grille as seen in the picture, but the front end on those appear to lean forward slightly so I'm doubting the grill insert would swap to the older wide frame tractors.

I am trying to make it look like it would have been done by cub cadet, had they made a red and white version as they did in the 82 series....I am sorry but I have no idea what a 56 or 66 series tractors look like! Photoshop would be cool to see different schemes, but I am doing great to just send emails and posting to threads here, that is beyond by knowledge! Thanks for the compliments, don't worry will be posting more pics and updates as they are made....been hard getting time to work on it, the wife has too big of a lists of things for me to do...LOL!

It depends on the era... basing it off ag tractors (often inspiration for LT and GT stylists), like the picture, the engine would be red. However, just like the later (red) CCs, the ag tractors as well had black painted engines if I'm right. Might need to google it under 'pictures' to be sure. Being that my 128 is from the early 70s, I'd like to paint it based off similar era IH tractors, but your tractor is your 'canvas'- a more contemporary black engine and 'hockey stick stripe' would look good as well in my opinion. Just keep your decals in mind, so the lettering can show. I think a cyclops would be cool to do up like the IH turbine tractor prototype... see the resemblance? http://www.antiquefarm.org/mainsite/...e_tractor.html

If you can't photo shop it there is one other option. You could get some red paper and white paper (or maybe some colored plastic sheeting) and just tape them to the parts you want to paint that color to get a visual. Then if you don't like it change it around. It wouldn't look perfect but it would give you a real life idea. I do a lot of mocking up on anything I am custom making. I don't do as good without a visual.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I have a new question, does anyone know if the hood, grill assembly, and side panels would fit on my 149 from a 1200? I realize there might be a little fabrication involved, but are they fairly close to the same dimensions? The only reason I ask is I have found one with a bad motor for sale and is supposed to have a good 44A deck and wheel weights. I am sure the deck will work with a few mods, and I haven't found any weights yet (that I could afford anyway). I have seen where people have used some of the grill pieces from one on a 149, but I haven't actually seen one in person to be able to see if the hood and side panels could be modified to fit. I am waiting on pics of it to see if it even interests me (owner says it is in great shape, everyone knows what they say about opinions...lol!), hoping it is a later model with the 82 series looking steering wheel, was wanting to change to that style. The more stuff I can use off if it, kind of makes it more justifiable to buy!

Otherwise, if you think the 1200 is an easy fix, fix it and sell it for a profit to fund the 149. BTW, I like the 'mockup' paper idea!

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.
