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?

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.
