It's been awhile since I have posted any progress, but I have been busy. As I said before things were pretty rusty:





Treated the rust:



Now it's primered:





Actually, everything is now primered, this was the last piece today:



The motor is all back together:







I actually have figured out how I am going to get the underside painted as well:



Now my dilemma, I have read numerous thread about what paint to use and I am torn between the Valspar Federal Yellow and International White or the IH/Case Iron Guard. I am looking at the Iron Guard over the Cub only because I hear it is cheaper than Cub and my Cub dealer is also a Case/IH dealer. I know he has the Cub paint, I assume he has the Iron Guard also.

The Cub will be a worker and is definitely not a show piece. I have put in a lot of effort to get rid of the rust, and it will sit inside most of the time and I only use it to plow snow.

If I go with the Iron Guard, does anybody have recommendations on what hardener and reducer to use and the ratios? The Valspar has it's own and the mix on it. I do plan on building me a paint booth and spraying it.

Thanks

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.
