Thanks Rod for a more comprehensive answer than what I was expecting. I appreciate the time you put into it. I really have just limited experience with some of these products. I have tried a few phosphoric acid washes. They don't impress me much because of the powdery residue they produce. I have not used Picklex 20 which I suspect may be a stronger concentration. The only special rust paint that I have used is Bill Hirsh Miracle Paint which I believe is a water hardening urethane. It was some very tough stuff that sets up when exposed to humidity in the air.

The tractor that I am working on is all disassembled and I have removed just about all the old paint. I am having a little trouble with rust forming on the clean parts and I was hoping to find a product that would keep the rust under control without being a problem itself as phosphorics seem to be with the residue. I'm using electrolysis to remove most of the paint from parts now, but in the past I sanded it off. Doing it that way, it was common for me to find rust under the old JD paint and there was no use of primer. That surface rust didn't seem to be causing any problem so maybe there is a little leeway as far as how perfect it has to be.
