Good info here. I would add a few things I learned the hard way. First, if it is greasy like just about every other tractor, I would save time and effort cleaning it by using a pressure washer on it to get the "big stuff" off it.

I further degreased by wiping down with laquer thinner. If it is completely rusty, I would brush off any scale and then I would get a dozen spray cans of "rust converter" from Wal-mart and use that on it. It is about $4 per can, but it converts rust to a black sandable primer and it works. I would propably spray with red oxide for good measure and then paint.

Best of luck...BB
