Jon,

Just speaking from experience, don't sandblast the tractor! There is no way to keep that stuff out of the inside, no matter how careful you are. You might be able to protect some of it but you'll never get it all cleaned off and it will find its way into an opening somewhere. I've seen several pieces of equipment severely damaged by doing this; one was an 1100 MF tractor. Killed the engine and hydraulic system in about 300 hours of operation! Fixed the engine but the tractor was later sold at auction for junk price.

Not saying you can't manage it somehow but its a big risk to take.
