Cub Original Wheel Weight Color

[jbratton]

Had a question about the proper color of wheel weights for a 1961 Cub Cadet serial number 15766. Red or. Yellow? Or hard to say?
The mower deck on this Cub was all white, so I didn’t know if this was considered an early Cub.

ORIGINALLY, till about 1961 they were 2150 red, when they were frt wheel weights for Farmall Cubs and Cub LoBoy's.
I've always painted them #935 white for use on my Cub Cadets. My 982 came with a set painted 2150 red.

As Denny said they were originally red when used as front weights on the Farmall Cub. The Original through the 1x4/5 series were yellow. Then from the 1x6/7 series on, they were white.
