Getting it running should be your first and foremost concern. You will definately want to paint an assembled engine, maybe less the mag and exhaust manifold (spark plugs, head exhaust and intake port holes masked). Well worth the time to replace all seals and gaskets that are leaking before painting. You will also want to make sure all nescisary mechanical work gets done at this time. Then disassemble what is needed for painting. One coat of primer, atleast one coat of paint. Then reassemble tractor, then do final coat of paint. If painting wheel's or rims different color, you will probably want to do them off the tractor and put them back on when painting is done. I masked what needed to be left un-painted. I put on hoses, mag, plug wires, and exhaust manifold after painting was all done. I think I just masked the setiment bowl. Putting on the sticker decals is the fun part. I can still remember putting those big ones on the sides of the gas tank. One more thing, take before and after photos. You'll be glad you did.
