What is the best way to smooth up the cast parts, housings, etc? These are not bad imperfections but will give the paint job a rough look I think and would like for it to be smoother. Thanks

You might be surprised how good it looks painted. Cast is supposed to be rough as the casting process is not perfect. That said you can use body filler for the small ones and JB Weld for the deep ones -- but unless you do the whole tractor, the repairs won't match the rest of the tractor; I suppose you could rough them up with something. I have heard of people using bondo on the whole thing. There are also sprayable body fillers, but you will spend the rest of your life sanding. A LOT of work, and totally uneccessary as far as I'm concerned.
