I'm not well organized enough to sandblast, then clean the parts, building and everything else to get ready to paint. It is DRY in western KS, not as dry as where the airplanes are stored in the open in Arizona or ?, but dry enough, I have a heated building, heat off at night, 40 degree temperature swings inside the building, less difference in humidity, but at least noticeable rain and snow, dew point or not. I do NOT get rust. We do have humid days, when the Wichita, KS weather backs up on us, but it has little or no effect. Leave something outside it will be brown the next day. Different parts of the country, different climates. Been doing this for 8 years. I used to use Picklex 20 after taking to bare metal, found out I don't need it, except to neutralize rust in inaccessible places if I wire wheel instead of sandblast. Yes when I wire wheel cast, there is likely some rust in the pits where the wire doesn't reach, but the likelyhood of that rust amounting to something is this climate is next to nothing. Treating cast with Picklex (mainly phosphoric acid) will likely do more harm than good. In MA (Wardner), or even in eastern SD (Where in SD are you, Gordo?), or maybe even Wichita, KS I would have to change my way of doing things. What works for me will not work for everyone.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
