engine paint prep
What do I do about painting the engine? Can it be blasted, should it be? What all should be removed and all that jazz??

For me, I take the fins and head down to bare metal and leave it that way. Paint is an insulator and I want the most heat dissipation I can get. Paint the rest of the motor to the color of your choice. Some were yellow and some were black.

Never sandblast an engine. You'll get sand in it that you won't be able to get out. I've always painted the cooling fins on the block (on engines that have an iron block), as they'll rust if they are not painted. I have never been able to find any data on the heat transfer capability of rust to compare with painted metal, but I suspect they're similar.

A hearty wire brushing then I guess. The paint shop said they use high heat paint on the engine. Mines gonna be red, at least thats what Im currently thinking. The whole tractor will be red. I want red candy pearl but that may be more for the Trumps of the world! The wheels wil be some kinda special silver with a clear coat, it looks very close to chrome.

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.
