Progress Update
Its been a while since I have had time to work on the 2072. I've been buying parts and supplies all along but haven't done a lot of work. I finally got the frame in primer. I went with etching primer I got at Oreilly Auto parts. They have been very helpful and I am using Dupont brand supplies. Here are a few pictures.

Oak,
First let me say the color is much better in person, the lighting in the garage makes it look funny. Very close to the BRS red if not exactly. I spent several months reading every paint post and review I could. I saved up some money and went to Oreillys and consulted with the paint pro and got all the info to spray Dupont. Bought some etch primer and began spraying primer. Enter real life  My wife still isnt working so I had to use my paint money to pay bills. So I went to TSC and bought Majic paint,reducer and hardner. I know what everybody says but my budget just wouldnt allow for the more expensive paint. I sprayed the first coat Sunday with outside air temps at 70 and in the garage 72. Humidity was at 49% and I had my dehumidifier running. I mixed it by the directions adding an addition 10% hardner. Sprayed it with a HVLP gun. To my surprise it laid down great, was easy to spray and looks awesome. It has dried quickly and you can not scratch it easily. I have been keeping the garage warm 70-72 degrees. My plan is to lightly sand then respray a second coat and then a coat of clear. We will see how it goes. I am in no rush so drying time is not an issue. Guys please dont start a paint war I had to use what I could afford. I would be interested in any one who has sprayed this paint and the clear coat.Thanks Don

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.
