Actually if you include the new Cub Cadets there are at least four different whites. There were three used by IH and then CCC came out with a new one (along with a new yellow) in 1990. I don't know if there were any more after that.

Kevin, I agree with you leaving the rims as is. I doubt it but who knows, 
aybe the dealer decided to paint the rims before it was sold? On a family 
ractor, I'm all for keeping it like it was. You are more about keeping it 
ike everyone in the family remembers it than anything else.
One thing I have noticed following this thread, it still takes quite a bit 
f educated guessing/detective work to decide what to paint some of the old 
H equipment. Just go to any tractor show with a bunch of OLD IH and see the 
ifferent shades of gray paint! Just recently I found out that there are 3 
ifferent whites used on Cub Cadets (including the new ones).

 Well I believe that you guys know of what you speak, so I'll just leave it
 at that was just what my Father-in-law chose to do and that's the way it
 will stay until the next generation decides to change it.
 thanks to all for the collective info !
