I re-installed the muffler box that goes on the motor on Dustin's 800 today. Then... 1 thing led to another..Replaced the ISO mounts,bolted the starter wires,coil wires etc that needed fixed a little,bolted the muffler box and the components together,set the gap on the PTO clutch and now have it 75% ready to start.Hopefully a couple more work days and we can see how it operates. Too bad he didn't want to paint it up first...

In my my experience, rattle can paint rarely dries shiny. Sometime it will look dull if you haven't applied enough. If you are painting in the cold, that isn't helping either. It needs to be at least about 60 degrees.

The valspar from TSC needs to be applied over a good quality primer and in warm temperatures otherwise it will turn out dull looking and blotchy. I took my time in warm temperatures with the 1811 hood/side panels and it turned out pretty shiny. The rims turned out shiny too.

That's a really sharp 108. I used to have a 128 that looked almost that nice. It's hard to beat a nice, clean, original tractor.

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.
