This is my first restoration project. Is sandblasting the best way to remove rust from a tractor? If so do you disassemble the frame and pedestal from the tractor and leave the main case and rear end respectively together blast and then disassemble. Or is it better to disassemble then blast each individual major component. After blasting how should the tractor be preped to receive primer and paint. Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Not saying this is right or wrong, just how I am approaching mine. I have to hood off, tank off, radiator off. In my case, the block is out and the brakes are off for rebuild and to allow to get in behind it. Seat and platform are off and so is the drawbar. Mag is off and clutch handle and rod are off. From this point, I am going to have someone who takes his time blasting clean it up, I have seem his work on a 40 including sheet metal, and he does pretty good work. I have all the holes sealed with cardboard and duct tape, or stuffed with cloth to keep the sand out. All the other components will be done individually. My plan is to have him prime it first, then reassemble part way, get it running and work out the leaks, then paint it. As I said, not right or wrong, just what I am doing.

Hi,
I myself have not had any experience with having a tractor sandblasted, however i have friends that have had them done by other individuals. Sandbalsting is a art and is not something that should be rushed, ESPECIALLY THE SHEET METAL!!! I have seen a hood on a 430 JD that just would not go on after it was blasted on. It warped. Also you will get sand everywhere in the tractor. Personally i would take some time and use a wire brush and sandpaper as much as possible. This may take some time, but it will not mess up stuff like sandblasting will.
hope this helped,
