I've always used the red oxide color primer on any equipment type stuff I've painted. Seems to work fine for me. My dad did a whole ford 640 only using the red oxide primer in rattle cans and a spray gun. Valspar makes it

I work in a body shop and paint cars for a living.... 1000 gritt is way to fine for the paint to bight into. 800 is the highest id go. D.a dual action sander. Wire wheel works bt sandbladting is fast and gets rid of rust easily

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.
