Default 149 lights decal
Been a while since I have worked on my 149. Time to put the decals on but have a couple questions. I am attaching pictures of the head light decal. It is sticky between the white backing and the decal. Can you use a small amount of soapy water an metal light plate while putting on decal? On the front there is a layer that will come off. Do you squeegee the decal with this on or take it off first. I know these questions may seem dumb to some, but I do not want to mess up with the 1st decal. All help will be appreciated. Have a great day.
Bob

On decals like this I never use any soap. Yes. Leave contact paper on outside to squeegee out and air bubbles. On something that size I try to work from the center out. if you get a large air bubble sometimes a very small pin hole helps. Main thing is to take your time with it

I would recommend rapid tac over soapy water, it's designed specifically for putting on decals and you don't have to worry about accidentally using to much soap. I put plenty of decals on dry but I don't recommend it to a beginner. I recommend sanding any nibs of dirt before you apply the decal, these chrome backed decals won't lay flat over dirt and it will be very noticeable.

I position the decal EXACTLY where you want it to end up.
Then tape one end/side to the part you are putting it on.
Then flip it up, being careful NOT to move I from it's intended spot, peel the backing off and carefully lay it into position working from the center outward.
I always wet the backing paper 1st, then the part, then put it in position and squeeze out the bubbles.
Then I soak the front paper and carefully remove it.
Some folks let the entire decal dry before removing the front paper.
Confused yet??!
Good luck!
I'm sure someone will find fault w/my method but has always worked for me.

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.
