I used a small hand held sand blasting gun and reused my sand several times filtering it thru an old coffee/tea strainer I got at the grocery store. Worked OK but you can tell after a couple uses the sand doesnt cut as good as it did when new.

But what I wanted to say was that after doing all my tractor I learned a lesson. My cultivator parts and draw bar I took to a professional and he did in ten minutes what would have taken me over a week to do. I think it cost about $130 to get them blasted and primed but it was the best money I spent.

This summer I am taking my rear rims off and having them redone because I aint happy with the results I have now. I didnt take the time to do it right the first time since I was in a hurry to get the tires mounted and to my store where I could work on the tractor. I think I'll redo the fenders at the same time. You can bet I wont be doing the sand blasting tho. Ill let a pro do it with his big gun. Do the thin metal parts and small stuff if you want but the big heavy stuff take to a pro and save you some time.

Oven cleaner helps cut a lot of old paint off saving a lot of time too.

Did my sand blasting in a 40 X 60 metal building with cement floor and when I got done there was sand dust on everything. Had to move everything out and wash it off and then get the water hose in the building and wash it out. Was a BIG mess!
