Hello, wondering if there were any decals/lettering that was originally on the mounting frame/shaft housing for the mower? I'm doing a resto on mine and I want to get it as close to factory as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
You can check the owner's manuals for info, also TM Tractor has pictures on their website and forum member tst can probably get you the decals you will need. Stan
 
As far as I know, there were 3 decals on the early mowers, actually 2 decals and 1 printed label. "Cub-22 tractor mower" was printed on the belt guard. It can be seen in the TM photo gallery. The decals can't be seen there. One was the "Cub-22 mower" in a circle on the hinge. The other was on the left side of the shaft tube. It was "IH McCormick-Deering" or "IH McCormick" as appropriate.
 
When I redone my plow, The original "decals" were underneath the paint someone had put on there. They were in ochre as best I could tell. It had ACE 10 7" and Made in Canada on it. I had a local company make decals the same before I repainted it. I also had them make the McCormick logo in red and white as per a picture I found on here.

FYI, IH part number decals for a L22, some of the info might be the same for C22. Stan

Thanks, I've haven't been looking at L22 decals. I figured they may be different because they were newer than mine. Might be a good starting place for ideas.
 
I can't address the question of white vs. ochre on the McCormick decal. In fact, I'm not sure if the question shouldn't be "white vs. cream". There is also a problem that color shifts as decals age can turn white into something else. This probably ties in with IH eliminating ochre and cream paints in favor of white paint.

I think that the early decals on the L-22 are a good clue, with the difference being the model designation inside the circle. Later L-22 decals changed. I don't know if Cub-22 mowers were built late enough to see corresponding changes.

I agree that tst probably knows more about implement decals than all the rest of us put together.
