I sand my grills and wheel weights with a DA sander. Just took the really high peaks off.

What he said. Castings rarely "pit", just clean the rust off, slap some primer and paint on and go.
Here is one I did when I was 18. We used wire brushes (lots of them) to clean it.

The lower casting is supposed to be rough... that's how cast iron parts are.. wire brush it, prime and paint!

Body fill
Despite my better judgement I’ll chime in to this controversial subject: similar to painting a Cub Cadet - Green. What you can do is 2-4 coats of high build primer and / or a skim coat of 3M Premium Glaze or “Body Fill” also EverCoat Rage Ultra is some good quality filler. Do not buy USC or Bondo brands as they are a nightmare to sand. Spend a little extra, a quart will be more than enough. Start with 80 grit then work up to 320 or higher to avoid sand scratches showing in the final paint. It’s not for the average re-paint but if you want the best quality then you have to do what no one else does.

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.
