Cub Cadet 70

[Jake Olsen]

I have been using majic brand paint and yes I have been using a hardener in my mix. Spaying with a harbor freight 15 dollar gun. IH white and cub cadet yellow. Touching up with a rattle can and the cub yellow is a little off because it’s the new cub yellow. I noticed it but everyone else who has looked at it didn’t. A cub/tractor guy would though.

Jake I did this with rattle cans and a paint brush...looks good from your house don't it?

 

[jkoenig]

[Jake Olsen]

Why yes it does look good from here in Utah.

And I bet it looks even better right there where you’re at.

Sitting here this morning trying to decide weather to work on the 70 and possibly see my daughter and grandkids or take the 8 hr drive to pick up my 100 and another 147 and see my sister.

I like using automotive grade paint, Acrylic Enamel with hardener that can be mixed to original Cub Cadet colors. I use it because it’s durable to UV fading, chalking etc. Not that any paint system is right or wrong. Probably the least expensive way to go. If you have a good sample of the colors. Something original you can polish back to like new. Go to Lowe’s or other paint store & have it computer matched & use regular “old school” slow dry enamel. I have repainted welding machines, machine shop equipment, etc. back to original colors just using a good quarter size chip of paint.

Well here is what I drove to Wyoming and picked up Sunday.

Gonna keep you busy Jake!

My goodness it’s a sickness I have here. That’s 11 tractors I have now to work on. But in this country when you find them you better get them. And all I really wanted on these was the fenders.

 

[RAllison]

That's how it seems to work out!

Didja pass on the 102 that was there?

 

[Jake Olsen]

No I have at home too. I just wasn’t sure about the serial number or the model number on it

You appear to have a bad case of what we call "Yellow and White Fever" there is no cure, only temporary relief after acquiring another Cub Cadet.

 

[Jake Olsen]

And I have it bad. I seen one today locally and after slowing down to look at I think it was a Montgomery wards. I kept driving but might have to go have a closer look

Just went on an ambulance call yesterday, when I got up the driveway I looked out into a field and there sit, at least, 7 Cubs. They are just sitting, dying in a field. They all looked pretty much intact. I think they just stop running and was parked. Not the time to inquire about them.

 

[Jake Olsen]

That would be a pretty good find. So many people just scrap them anymore.
