I was wondering,I've already overhauled the engine and now I'm into the prep work of painting.
I read that I could use walnut abbrasive in my sand blaster around the engine area and it wouldn't hurt the new motor.Has anybody had good results with walnuts or should I stick to the wire wheel to remove the old paint and rust?Any suggestions would help. Thanx, Dave

You will probably get lots of advice, but here is mine!

I strip the tractor down to the bare frame, then I use a sand blaster after I have removed all the grease and oil accumulation. I do not sand blast down to the bare metal, I just use enough pressure to remove the loose flaking paint etc.
I do not prime, and if you are painting a Farmall, I buy paint that matches the final coat that is in a spray can. I use the spray cans to get into the hard to get places. After that paint has had time to dry based on the instructions on the spray can, I then put on the final coat using a paint gun.

good luck

Hi, I forgot to mention that you will need to tape off the areas that you don't want the sand to get into obviously. I use electrical tape and the plastic bags from the grocery store.

I use washed masonry sand that I screen myself. It does the job and is a lot cheaper.
