Just thought I would share a few pictures of the CGT with the motor installed and freshly painted. I have learned quite a bit along the way. Still have a couple minor things to fix before it hits the dirt. Thanks to all for your help.

It's looking really good but when painting that engine, you missed a few spots on the exhaust system. :sidelaugh:

AO: Motor looks nice. Looks like it was a good opportunity to clean up, wires, hydraulic lines, etc. under there.

You did a real nice job on the paint job

Didn't paint the exhaust because I figured it would burn right off any how.

I wouldn't have bothered either. If you really wanted to you can buy high temp black paint in an aerosol can at most any hardware store.

That engine looks just like new!! :trink: :trink:

C'mon....... he should have sent the exhaust out for porcelainizing. :sidelaugh:

The engine is painted in high temp paint. I can see that exhaust lasting abot 2 years. It is rusty and coming apart already.

Engine looks good - I did notice that the deck lift link / bracket is on upside down?? My manual for my 444 has the long slit on the top.

Looks great :thumbsup:

What kind of high temp paint did you use?

 

[animalsonly]

I believe it is duplicolor engine black. Rated to 500deg. I also used the engine orange. It matches the orange on my case nearly 100%. Got it at home depot.

Yes those brackets were upside down. They were on the wrong sides also.
