Problem with cast is that it is almost impossible to sand. It can be scuffed with a scotchbrite pad, which I haven't tried. Most 50/50 people (looks good going by 50 ft away at 50 mph) just pressure wash it and paint it -- that includes dealers. I restore tractors, disassemble and wire wheel the cast, thus removing the paint. If your paint is what you consider good, then try scuffing it, clean it up good followed by wax and grease remover. Most people probably don't use primer, but I would use epoxy primer because there are going to be some bare areas, and the cast being rough is going to have the paint removed from the "points" if you scuff it. If you don't remove all parts off the cast and paint separately there are a lot of nooks and crannies and areas behind the parts that will not get painted. The only way I would do it is disassemble, strip, and repaint. -- But you can do as you please. Your tractor has probably been repainted, likely by the 50/50 people. Most tractors will have rust under the paint, so it really should be stripped.
