I picked up a gallon of white and (another) gallon of red. Is the transport yellow the cub cadet color? It looked similar, but I'm a little colorblind and if it doesn't say "cub cadet yellow," i dont get it.

I bought a can of it and it looks just like the orinal paint on my 122 it is alot darker than cc yellow.

The 'Cub Cadet Yellow' is for the newer cyclops and 2000 series tractors, and is not correct for the older tractors; it is rather orange.

So the transport yellow is a good color for older cubs?

That is also Ace Hardware School Bus Yellow. It is a bit darker, but not by much.

Here are the parts painted:

I used TSC Majic rattle can cub paint for my 124 last year. It did OK, but I think it needed more hardener in it. Some cans (I bought about 8 or 9 cans for my 124) were very "watery," had way too much thinner. Some did fine. I am rejuvenating my 100 this year, and I will use more TSC rattle cans. After it cures for a few weeks or months it does fine.

Cub Cadet White
 
I'm in the process of rebuilding a 1973 LoBoy 154. I found that a very good match for the original white paint can be found at Ace Hardware. It's in rattle cans and is "Ace Premium Enamel" high gloss and the color is "IVORY". I got it for $3.99 / 12 oz can. Cheap enough????
I also painted the Yellow components with Krylon Industrial Enamel, color is almost a perfect match. Krylon's color is "Federal Yellow" and I bought this paint from MSC Industrial Supply (on-line):beerchug:.
I also clear coated everything with 4 coarts of CLEAR. All rattle cans..
It's one "pretty tractor" now.
