Default Decal removal

What is the best way to remove the old decals and adhesive from the side panels on an 1862?

Heat gun to get the decals off and rubbing alcohal to remove the adhesive, its a slow process but it won't damage the paint.

Until I bought a remover tool I used a heat gun or hair dryer then cleaned it up with Glue remover or lacquer thinner. This is on metal bodies not plastic. I would think the same would work on the plastic but not use too much heat.

The glue remover we used was a 3m product sold at NAPA. We now use a slow speed pneumatic grinder that uses a rubber wheel to take them off. Best tool ever! NAPA sells the same type wheels to use in a drill but you have to use a slow speed.

I took the decals off the hood of my 1864 due to them peeling off somewhat on their own. I used a mixture of vegetable oil and baking soda, simply mix them together in a jar and it becomes a paste. Rub the paste on the adhesive and allow to sit overnight. Worked well, you may have to apply more than once and it didn't seem to harm the plastic.

Just removed a brand new decal from a JD 318 because I was too lazy to go and get a little dishwasher soap when I put it on. Glue stuck like crazy but hot air heat gun and a little patience did the trick. I then used a little paint thinner and the glue came right off.

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.
