Paint and Graphics

Most restorers prefer to use OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts and paint is no exception. International Cub Cadet colors are available from your local CUB CADET and CASE IH dealer. For those who prefer to obtain their paint elsewhere the following paint codes are from the respective manufacturers. I will assume no responsibility for their accuracy.

Some decals are available from your CUB CADET or CASE IH dealer.

IH used two colors of yellow in the production of the Cub Cadets. IH #483 Yellow was used from serial # 501 to 335967 AND from SN # 562955 to 664996............IH #483B Yellow was used from SN# 335968 to SN# 562954. So yes, IH Federal yellow is correct, but for those "extreme purists" here's your ammo. IH used three colors of white in the production of the Cub Cadets. IH #901 white was used from SN# 501 to SN# 218009.........IH #902 White was used from SN#218010 to SN#375938.........IH #935 White was used from SN# 375939 till the end of the RED 82 series Cub Cadet production in 1985. Once again here's the "ammo" for the "extreme purists". Make sure that you take your paint chip charts with you before you start to "critique" a Cub Cadets paint at a show.
