Recently bought a small tractor, about 35 yrs old, and the fenders are pitted with those rust "blossoms" that you often see on old iron. Tractor is in good shape overall, and sheet metal is excellent. What is the best way to clean these fenders, to get the rust out of the pits, to FILL the pits before priming and painting? The fenders are white. I suppose I shouldn't be in this forum, because the tractor is a Ford (gasp!) 1100, which I bought because it was exactly what I needed to trim a large area of semi-wild grass. Still, I recently saw some excellent advice to another fellow who asked about paint prep, and I decided to write to this forum. I am IH-RED at heart, but I couldn't find a good Cub and the Ford sort of fell into my lap. I have several cans of the Ford "grey" (almost white) and will do the repaint over the winter by taking the fenders off and bringing them indoors.
