Default Resurrecting the Yellow & White CCC 984

Greetings,

I figured I'd make a new thread to document the 984's return to service after sitting almost 20 years.

Attached is the tractor how I found it, then it's status last night. Rear tires are off as I cleaned/am painting the rims in preparation for new Carlisle Multi Trac CS Lawn & Garden Tires (Rear - 26X1200-12 LRB 4PLY; Front - 18X850-8 LRD 8PLY).

I plan on pressure washing the rest of the tractor and getting tires on it before any real use. The cab (headliner), fuel tank, and fuel lines were in sad shape when I got it. I also have some wiring "modifications" to undo in the immediate future. The engine is a Liminar/Onan Performer 20 crate engine put in right before the tractor was parked.

Thanks. I think it'll look cool next to the yellow 782, which I'm also working on.

Back on track -- canvas white is not the near match I read it to be, unless it dries significantly darker.

Pressure washed, wire wheeled, wiped down, and primed the rear rims. New tires arrived today, so hopefully I can finish paint tonight and mount tomorrow after work.

I used Valspar IH white from Farm & Fleet, & the color wasn't bad (I started using it on my Y/W 782) but the cans suck, and I'm not sure F & F handles it anymore. I ended up running up to Otter & springing for the IH IronGard paint.

I've got a can of Krylon IH white here too, but I can't remember what I used it on, or where I got it. Probably used it on the wheels on my 1050, and they don't look bad. I don't recall the paint itself being a problem either.

I ran out of Iron Guard and wanted to find something local. At one point Farm & Fleet stocked CCC Yellow and White plus the valspar then rustoleum clones. It seems that is not the case anymore.

I did get the homemade door off the Sims cab and the whole tractor pressure washed tonight. Tomorrow I want to dial in the rear brakes and possibly mount the rear tires/dismount the old front tires and prep them for paint. Still not sold on this color for the "white", but sending it for the Y/W 782's rear ag tires.

The Rustoleum Almond is VERY close to the original 80's Cub cream. I've used it several times and have been pleased with it.

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.
