Ok so I have read a lot of stuff one paint on the forums here and it seems like there are a number of guys who have got really good results rolling and brushing their paint. For me this seems like the best option because I dont have to worry about a gun,compressor and respirator and I can use better paint with hardener. So I am thinking I am going to get my paint at Sherwin Williams and roll it on with a small roller and probably use a small brush in tight areas. If anyone has done this I would appreciate your advice.

While I have never painted a tractor with a brush or roller (and never will), I have seen a few that were...they all looked like they were painted with a brush. If you are going to the expense of getting good paint, I would use a gun. A $20 HVLP gun from Harbor Freight will work just fine, and you can use an air compressor for MANY things other than painting. Check your local craiglist for used air compressors...if it's like my CL, there's probably 50-100 air compressors for sale; no need to buy a new one.
Also, it doesn't matter whether you roll or spray, you still need a respirator/facemask that also covers your eyes. The fumes are still being given off regardless of how you apply the paint.

I use CAT paint, close enough in color for my old eyes, and it is a high performance paint.
I use hardeners from TSC and the paint lasts a long time. D7K_0850.jpg There is "old" CAT yellow and "new" CAT yellow, you want the old. They also sell white and black. The CAT paint can also be used as a primer, eliminating steps. I buy it by the gallon, my equipment is color coordinated!! D7K_0789.jpg The Cub Cadet paint is 3 years old and looks like new. The main reason to "gallon" spray is you can put on more "thickness" which prolongs life of the paint. I find this paint will "dry" better than some others. One paint I used surface dried on me, sealing in the volatiles' that were supposed to evaporate. The paint stayed "soft" for 6 months literally!! That tractor got a nice break from work. LOL I wonder if I can get a gallon of CAT white tinted CUB beige??? Hmmmm......

The rattle can spray paint is like water and has very little solids in it compared to properly mixed automotive paint. It ends up with a thinner coating, that does not hold up as long as a sprayed finish.
No hardener is another drawback already mentioned. You also cannot change the reducer used to match your spraying temperatures..ANd beleive Matt on using a respirator for any paint.. that hardener is really bad stuff to mess with. Don't be afraid of spray guns.. the ones Harbor Fright sells nowadays are every bit the equal of professional guns from the 70's... I sprayed my first lawn mower in junior high just following the instructions with the spray gun.. Shoot your tool box or garbage can for practice first....and have at it!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
