Yellow and White Cubs

What year did they change from Red to the Yellow and White color combination? Looking at the serial number data it appears that the last year for the old offset design was 1975? Was there any significant changes mechanically or was it mostly just color?
Thanks

Cub and 140 offset tractors were made through 1978. Don't know why the listing stops at 75. Yellow & white cubs appeared witht the square nose design around 1965 (or 64?). Farmall cub dot com has a history if you have the time.

Bud:

IH phased out the Red colour scheme on the Cubs midway through the 1963 production year approximately and F-Cub 222500 was the last Red Cub and 17200 was the last of the Red Lo-Boys.

The first yellow and white square nosed Cub was Serial Number 222501



and the first yellow and white square nosed Cub Lo-Boy was Serial Number 223453



IH ceased production on the standard Cub series 1975 at Serial Number 248124 and had previously ceased production of the Lo-Boy in 1968 at Serial Number 22841. The New International Cub was introduced at Serial # 228125 and was produced until 1979 when all Cub production was ceased at Serial Number 253685. There were changes to the colour again, and there was a production wide change in horsepower due to the domed pistons that were introduced a bit earlier somewhere around Serial # 24815.

The Estate style Numbered Cubs were introduced in 1968 and continued in production until sometime in 1983 when all Cub production ceased permanently.

Hope that answers the question.
