Well I have searched the forum, tried a bit of manufacturer cross referencing, and I still don't have a close recommendation for the proper rattle can paint for the 50C deck to go under my 1811. I'd like to be close, not perfect. Not interested in going to get a qt of paint mixed up. I read Rust Oleum canvas white is a close match, any one here ever use it? The deck is in great shape except under the cover--well my cover is missing. Anyway that area is a complete mess. While I have the deck apart for cleaning and rebuilding I want to put on some paint. Any suggestions? I've got most major auto stores, Lowes, Home Depot, TSC---just don't want to drive all over town for $15 of paint.

John,
I had really good results with Valspar 5339-15 IH white. I used it on my Haban and 1782 rims last winter and it turned out really well. I was leery at first because the cap looked really beige but it turned out to be just the right amount of white. Bad news is... I had to order it off Amazon.. My local Car Quest had one can but then couldn't get anymore... ![]() Post number 6 shows the white pretty well http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...t=yellow+haban

Canvas white is too white like Lew said almond. It will look too beige by looking at the cap but it's close as I've found in a non-IH paint.

I use canvas white.
It turns a little more almondy w/age. I feel the almond is more of a later Cub color, like the Cyclops. All you mid-westerners.... Get your butt to Theisen's before Sunday night. 16% off on their big red bag sale. I picked up a years supply yesterday for $3.35/can. I cleaned 'em out!! |

Another vote for Rustoleum almond. Don't know if would match for touch up on original paint but I painted my deck with it and it looks good.

Rustoleum Almond is also what I used for the 50C on my 582. It was pretty close but I didn't really look that hard either. On a side note, Rustoleum also makes a primer for heavily rusted metal that I used on the underside of the deck after I cleaned it all up with a wire cup brush and I was pretty impressed on how long that stuff held on there.

Call up the closest Case IH/Cub Cadet dealer and tell them you want IH white Rattle can paint. Typically if the parts person is competent enough they'll take a CC over the phone and ship 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.
