Progress update
Spent the last few days removing paint and powder coat. The paint on the older sheet metal was easy to remove, the powder coat on the Cyclops parts not so easy. when sanding it it is like trying to sand rubber. Using Black Beauty in the blast cabinet will take it off but it is a real slow process. I have all of the sheet metal stripped except the rear fender pan. Hope to get that done tomorrow. Since I am running the rear fuel tank from the Cyclops I needed to fill the hole in the hood. I cut off the rolled edge around the opening and butt welded in a patch. I was surprised that I had very little warpage to deal with. A little time with a hammer and dolly and it came out very good. Once I have the fender pan stripped I will clean well with wax and grease remover and apply two coats of Epoxy primer followed with a little body fill where needed than three coats of high build urethane 2K primer followed by block sanding. If all is good I will apply a sealer coat of reduced epoxy then IH 2150 with hardener. On this job I am going to try clear coating with Polyurethane clear. I have never tried it but know others who have done it. I will let the 2150 cure for a week and than skuff sand it with 1000 grit and spray some clear. Before trying this of the good parts I will do a test panel to be sure the color and clear are compatible. Here are some progress pics. Wont be long before I can squirt some paint. I recently bought a new Iwata LPH400 Spray Gun to spray my 57 Chevy so this will be a good place to try it out.
Later Tom Top side of hood. IMG_20170202_173043.jpg Bottom side of hood. The dark spots are some minor pits and low spots in the welds. A very light skim of filler will take care of them.

Thanks guys. I enjoy doing this kind of work. One of my hobbys is restoring old Chevys and antique Farmall tractors. My biggest problem is the eyes are not what they used to be, I tried to tig weld the patch in the hood but just could not see well enough to weld the thin metal so I had to resort to the Mig. It got the job done but it took more grinding to get it finished.

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.
