(quoted from post at 06:22:10 04/26/19) EDTA? Is that like Evapo-Rust?
(quoted from post at 19:50:33 04/26/19) Alternative to sandblasting on what? Some things sandblasting is the only way. If the project isn't very big and you can get to it a knotted wire wheel on an angle grinder does very well.

Hemi, as I posted first, flap wheel. If you have not used one before you will want a respirator mask because you will be in a cloud of rust dust. I assume that you are restoring so you will need to follow up with rust converter to kill the rust in the pits.

Flap wheels are really good at gouging and making a wavy finish, especially if you have never used one.
There really is no replacement for sand blasting.

No way I would sandblast a plow share, LOL. I would have to follow up with a flap wheel to smooth it.

I thought this was to be painted? You can create gobs of wave with a flap wheel that will look like garbage with paint on them.

Yes Yakob, I suppose one could create waves with them. I have been using them for over ten years. They are not good on sheet metal but on structural steel and cast iron like a plow they work great! Also just so you know I don't like doing jobs that end up looking like garbage.

Did anyone suggest that you did "like doing jobs that end up looking like garbage"?
I was merely pointing out the downside to using a flap wheel, which is coincidentally NOT a downside to sandblasting.
Can you please elaborate on why sandblasting a plow share would be an "LOL" situation?

Catalina, there have been literally hundreds of posts here over the years about scouring plows. While sandy soils will scour light rust from a moldboard fairly quickly, clay laden soils or "gumbo" type, which are very common, tend to stick to the moldboard, prompting much frustration when the owner needs to turn his ground. As you know, a plow that is fresh out of the ground and fully scoured will be as shinny as chrome. The roughness of the rust needs to be removed in order for the plow to slide through clay, and sandblasting it off will make the surface even rougher, and unusable until significant repair work is done on it.
