Engine Degreasing/Painting
What is the best way to degrease and paint an engine? My K301 is torn down. All that remains is the governer and the front (pto side) crankshaft bearing. Neither of these items I want to remove. Should I wait until the engine is reassembled to degrease/paint? Any tips, tricks, and info would help.

I will clean block in parts washer and them it goes in a sink that in my garage. I will soap and hot water to do final clean up. I will compress air to help dry the block. My blocks usually just came back from automotive machine shop before I do the last 2 washes. I like to make sure I get all metal shavings out of the block before assembly.
I would replace the governor if it is a plastic gear. It's cheap insurance.

John, I have all my machine work at my local NAPA and they "Hot Dip" the block for me also so they come back looking like this. Then I use self etching primer before final paint.

Not all NAPA's have a machine shop but my local one does and they can bore blocks, grind valves and seats and turn cranks.

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.
