Cub Cadet Yellow

[4getgto]

I recently picked up a Cub cadet 826T snowblower. I'm guessing they were made in mid 90's. I'd like to make it look a little better by painting it up a little, not the whole thing . Just the sides and inside the barrel.
What color spray paint do you guys recommend that would be a relatively close match. I realize its not going to perfect . Not having any luck finding any locally. Thanks...Bill

Might try Tractor Supply

The paint Larry posted is the same stuff I used to repaint the blade mount framework on the MF8E. It was reasonably close to Massey Ferguson Yellow.

After looking around for some Cub Cadet yellow and not wanting to pay 20-30 dollars a can I took a gamble and bought some " Gloss Marigold" spray paint by Rust-Oleum.
While not an exact match its really close. Got to look pretty hard to tell the difference and blended with old paint good. I only did the sides and shot a little in the housing. This will be sold and wanted it to look more pleasing to the eye..turned out nice..

Nice one..... Never seen a snowblower with tracks.

Remove the thrower mechanism, and the handle bars. Put a seat over the top with foot controls.

I wish I could buy and flip I have to keep everything. I would find it hard to let this go. Nicely done Bill.

Jim you can't imagine some of the stuff I bought and flipped. Some brand new motors, weed wackers, heaters to name a few... Some I let go will come back and bit me for letting go...I try to stay lawn equipment and such mostly. Not tractors though, just too much to be wrong with them and not much money to be made. Push mowers, rototillers, snowblowers is hard to keep around.. Good stuff that is..
