In 8th grade I overhauled our 560 diesel as a 4-H project. We decided to paint it and I wanted to sand blast it, which sounded good to everyone. Anyway, the tractor received blue ribbons at the county and state fair. After the fair it was returned to the farm for its regular use of cultivating 900 acres with a 68 front mount, doing all of the custom square bailing, feed grinding and mowing. After two years we were at the neighbors bailing hay and oil started coming out of the muffler. After going from bad to worse we tore it down and found that sand had gotten into the engine somehow and ruined our engine. I believe a little over $6500 later we had a completely rebuilt engine. I was careful with the sand, but will never do a tractor that way again. If I do it will be piece by piece with all new parts. I learned the lesson the hard way before computers and forums. Do as you wish, it may be fine, and you may regret it, just listen to the advise given. It looks like more are telling you not to than to do so, and I would hate for someone else to make my mistake twice. Good Luck!
