Sandblasting a Tractor

[Meangreen]

We took my Allis down to this point and then my dad soda blasted it with a kit he got from Eastwood. We wiped it down after blasting and painted away with no issues.

I used full strength Phosphoric acid on a rusty wheelbarrow.
Applied with a paint brush. Let it set overnight.
Red rust, iron oxide turned black, back to iron.
Doesn't take much.

Good tip George - I think I ll try some.

JD 43, I'm going to chime in with absolutely no help. Since you started on this site a very short time ago, you've gotten a lot of good advice, and followed most of it. I sense you have a good head on your shoulders and can figure out what parts of this advise will work best for you. Doing partial cleaning and painting in the hard to reach spots, with brush on oil base enamel before any assembly should work well in your situation. Don't worry about doing it all at once. I love following your progress. Carry on!! steve

If I had the money, I would get a laser cleaner.
Maybe,those would be a lot cheaper in the year to come.
Watch them out on the internet!
