getting started

[vtwarthog]

Well I could not resist. I started removing parts from my 154. I may as well run 3 consecutive projects throughout the winter. I believe the yellow paint is "federal yellow"? I don't know the color of the white portion but I looks like a boat paint I often us, "hatteras Off-white" which is a polyurethane paint which I have plenty of. Are these colors correct? What are the correct colors and where can I get them. Where can I get new decals for the creeper gear label, the hitch/lift selector, the shifter, and the hood sides? Do any of our sponsors carry supplies/parts for a 154?

The great folks at TM tractor are starting to get in 154 cub loboy parts which i'm very happy to see them do. Ralph did have some 154 parts a while back so i'm not sure if he is going to dismantle another int154 or not. There is always ebay with bobscubs now too former aka hamiltonbob. With 3 int154's now to keep running from my lifetime into my kids lifetime I been trying to get a complete 154 in parts on my shelves. I have already done this with the cub cadet parts already. Its great to need a part and go to the shelf and its already there. I have my own little parts house were i just change my hats.

For new decals if TM doesn't offer them I would do a search for them. I did get the hood decals on ebay but there is another tractor parts place who offers them too but i forget right now. (brain over load from my FEL project)


Gee i had ajob at the new car dealer once like that I was the Service Manager, the Part manager and the Mechanic too i just changed my hats there too. It just brings back the memories.......

The answer is the Cub Manual Server Specifically the Paint, Decals & Other Finish ?'s where you will find the Farmall Paint Chart among other things.

I think the correct white is now 902 and the yellow is indeed Federal Yellow. The codes and paint cross-over's are there for the product's we know for sure. I would welcome any other data that you may be able to provide if your marine white is a good match for the IH 902.

Thanks for the help guys. I just cleaned out the other side of Charlene's garage so I'll have a place to work on the 154. The paint on the current hood looks original so I'll test it tomorrow with the marine paint. I quite used to polyurethane paint and it would be real easy to go with that color.
