This has been debated several times. You will get two sides to this issue.

Ok to paint the whole engine, BUT not the aluminum head(no paint). I guess I should also say that when I painted the fins on the cast iron, I only sprayed over the top of the fin. I didn't try to get paint all the way to the bottom of the fins. Here's a pic of what I did. What you do is up to you, it's your tractor! Good luck and have fun.

Well I guess most of the fins are covered anyway by the aluminum heat shields, so it's hard to see the fins anyhow. I primed and painted my K301 and I think it gets a little warmer than its supposed to. The paint on the cast iron side fins has melted off for the most part.

Here's a pic of what shows after the tins are on. Hope this helps you make a decision.

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.
