Jon,
I sand blasted my F-20 during restoration, but it was stripped down to the tranny, rear axle, frame rails and front bolster. It had steel wheels on it at the time. I sprayed a coat of epoxy paint on right after. Then, I went through the rear axle, drop boxes, and steering gear box. (Maybe should have done this first.) I did the engine separately when it was completely disassembled for a rebuild. I used a small hand-held sand blaster and washed the insides thoroughly after the parts were painted. I also built a blaster cabinet for the smaller parts I could take off. Every nut, bolt, bracket or casting got blasted and painted. The end results were spectacular. I had no problems with sand getting in things where it did not belong.

If you strip your tractor down as far as you can, then sand blast the carcass, you should be OK. I would still do the engine by hand though.
