Cub Cadet 125 Demonstrator??

[Max Hook]

I am currently working on preparing to paint my Cub Cadet 125, but before I paint I want to make sure it has been repainted the wrong color(pictures enclosed). It was a white grill casting and a white dash tower. I figured that this was wrong and someone had repainted it but I wanted to make sure it wasn’t a demonstrator or something. Thanks for any help.

Also looking for a place that sells a full decal kit including headlight panel decal, warning labels, etc. I’ve heard Maple Hunter Decals is good, is that correct?

I've had great results with decals on my three cubs from Maple Hunter.

Really doubt it was a demonstrator. The white and the decal look newer than the rest of the tractor.

No such thing as a demonstrator for these. That tractor has been at least partially repainted- the hood decals are on backwards.

The hood, fiberglass dash, and front wheels are white. The rest of the tractor itself is yellow.

Yes on Maple Hunter, really excellent customer service. I was careless with a hood decal, they took care of it. From what I've seen there were three yellows but just one off-white. See Digger with your s/n. The hood needs work, the frame may just need a good cleaning.
Cheers, Jack

3 shades of white during IH production, and one shade of yellow.

If you get Irongard white from an IH dealer, it will be the 935 white that was used last. If you want the other colors, you will have to have auto paint tinted with the numbers here:

Well Matt, there was a second yellow noted as 483B for a limited number of serial numbers, but no one seems to have researched exactly what it was and no cross referencing numbers show up. It's on the paint chart you linked. Probably had some more active lead ingredient to help it stick since no primer was used. Often wondered about not using primer. Some of the old units still really look good out there.

Can't remember who posted the info, but IIRC they are the same shade of yellow, but one had a corrosion inhibitor.

Makes you wonder if the original had the corrosion inhibitor and they went back to including it.
