Interesting to see the front plate below grill is white...

Mine was painted yellow.. Like this one:




Looks like I will have to repaint it.
This might be of interest to you also. that front plate cover is part of the mower assembly and not the tractor itself. What I mean by that is the tractor did not come off the assembly line with the cover it came with the mower. this is the "Paint committee Decision" for the 38" mower. I am sorry it is small, I do not know how to embed the images in making them larger.

Wow, I hope your IH Cub Cadet Original turns out this good! Must be Saturday Evening Picture Show at Only Cub Cadets! I cannot believe how good, and how nice these Originals truly are!

Says Hood, seat, wheels, and screen are to be 901 Harvester White.

Foot rests, control knobs, implement grip, steering wheel are to be black.

The balance of tractor to be 483 Federal Yellow.

I have to agree that flukes happened as seen on my unmolested 72. Note the IH decal on the seat spring.

If the decal looks normal, turn me over!!!

If you look you can see the gap between two metals running along your seat's upper edge. I filled in mine and smoothed it out to give a nice finished look. I know it was not original, but it bothered me that the factory didn't want to finish off the seat. I might wind up covering it all over with a seat cover. I have been thinking about making one that you can take on and off..

I finished refinishing the gearbox and rear end today and have the frame and drive line components and front axle already installed so I will marry the two soon... Nice not having to work with greasy components for a change..

Got a set of the old style Firestone's like yours for it as well and as close to original front tires also..

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.
