Just picked up a 140 that is in prime mechanical condition. (been watching this one for years) All it needs is a little surface rust removed and a good paint job. I've been quoted $600 for sandblasting and priming..ready to paint. This includes removing whatever needs to removed to do a good job. Does this sound reasonable? The fella has a good reputation but just wondering.
Thanks in advance.

I would be skeptical of sandblasting a tractor in working condition. I have tried sandblasting parts of the tractor after assembling and just the smallest hole can let in sand. I sandblasted the main rear end casting on my Super C and ended up disassembling the brakes again as sand got into a 1/4 inch hole in the bottom of the brake housing. Also have masked off parts and had the mask come loose and got sand inside the tractor. I no longer try to sandblast anything but individual tractor parts. $600 sounds expensive unless he guarantees he will not get sand into the workings. Roger
