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.

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?

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.

Default 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).
I also clear coated everything with 4 coarts of CLEAR. All rattle cans..
It's one "pretty tractor" now.

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.
