Default Painted Hydro Cooling Fins

With the rear fenders off, I have been cleaning up the frame and trans and running a thread chaser through all the bolt holes. I noticed the hydro has been painted at some point in time and the cooling fins are painted. Should I remove as much of this as I can or will it be ok?

I took all the paint off my 127 as it didn't have the cooling fan. I've read that there should be no paint to help with effective cooling. Steel wool, a wire brush and 15 minutes...

I think he is talking about the cooling fins on the hydro itself, not the fan! I would not want paint on this as it will hold the heat in ! But thats just me !

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.
