How would you guys remove paint from all the cast iron without using chemicals? Ill sandblast wheels and that sort f thing but for the transmission and engine block.

Pneumatic needle scaler would be my first choice. Tony

if i9t were mine I would NEVER SANDBLAST A TRACTOR ENGINE TRANNY ECT ,,. only tin far away from the sandblaster ,.. all tractors I have been around have very good cast paint ,,.. no need to remove ,, I simply steam jenny and repaint,.

Fully agreed 01gentdc!!! I will not blast the engine or tranny. Im talking about blasting sheet metal rims and wheel centers and you better beleive it will be a long ways away from the tractor! That sand can get wikl get down where the sun dont shine and screw up everything till its dying day!!!!!!!!

Yes. the needle scaler is what I have used. It does not remove the paint from deep down in the pores, but what little paint remains doesn't bother anything. Just apply the new paint over the top.

Ok found dads scaler how far do i need to go with this?/ like g3et as much off as possible or
what????

If the paint doesn't come off after a second or two with the needle scaler it is sound enough to keep.

We used soda on the engine and transmission when I redid a WD-45. 3 years later and no issues.
