You've gotten pretty good advise from those who recommend NOT sandblasting. I'm redundant here, but remove all the small pieces like front axle assembly, wheels, etc and strip the tractor to the basic engine, transmission and rear axles. Tape over any holes that are visable. I used cheap water soluable paint striper and a presure washer. Although you don't get down to absolute bare metal, you're close enough to get a good finished product. You can sandblast the non-mechical pieces quite nicely. J.D.s article is well written and pretty accurate method. I believe you can get as good a job with the paint striper and presure washer as you can with the grinder and its a lot less time consuming. I had great success painting the iron, but I left the shettmetal to a body shop after I cleaned it and got it ready for painting. The body shop then spent more time preparing the sheetmetal before they painted it. The actual painting of the sheetmetal is not a job for the beginner in my mind. If you chose the sandblasting route, you'll regret it.
