Since I have done almost half my tractor let me give you my "expert" advise. I started out not wanting to take anything apart, just sand a little and paint and be done with it. Im pretty picky so I couldnt just let it go and so took at all apart, you wouldnt belive all the crud and dirt and gunk stuck between the fenders and every place else. Sand blasted everything, used bondo to fill in rusted spots, new bolts where needed, and then primed everything with a brush and one coat of paint which I also brushed on with a foam brush. I dont think the cast metal matters much where you brush it or spray it but I wished I had sprayed the paint on the fenders, battery box, and other sheet metal. Got it all put back together (from the battery box back) but you cant help but getting scratches and the paint always comes off the bolt heads. But that is OK because I had planned all along to go over everything with a fine grain sand paper and spary the final coat over it. I dont think my way is expert but better than a good wash and then painting.
