In both cases I tried the heat and scraping (with plastic), but the glue remains.

Help and suggestions appreciated. Thanks

3M makes a product called trim adhesive remover. I also use just plain old coleman fuel. It works pretty good.

I took a factory decal off a new Baja boat with it. Glass and gel coat were fine afterwards. But my Cubs don't seem to have a thick gel coat like those boats. That's why I put the question marks. That is my best guess though. Have fun with your Cub.

I purchased a "Decal Removal Wheel". It looks like a rubber hockey puck that has a shank for attaching it to my electric drill. You simple run it over the decal with a back & forth motion without allowing it to stay on one spot and it removes decal and adhesive. Works great. I use it on Cubs and cars. I picked it up at a local automotive paint supplier.

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.
