I would disassemble it, take it someone that has an idustrial sandblaster, that would save on the hourly rate instead of sanding, and grinding,, I have a commercial sandblaster, and have restored tractors for many people, I have about 2 hrs in sandblasting the tractor, at 100 bucks and hour, and if it requires any repair work, as far as seals and such,, it is 20 an hour plus parts, They buy the paint, the hardener and the decals, 35 dollars an hour to paint it. A tractor like that, would take about 5-8 hrs to disasseble, some scraping of grease,, 2 to 2.5 hrs to sandblast, and 4 hrs to paint, and if a second coat is nessisary, and usually does not,, and then 5-8 hrs to reassemble if nothing needs repaired. That is what I get to restore tractors,, some rates change depending on repair, and body work on the sheet metal, That owuld be a very nice tractor when it would be done. Just my 2 cents,, ChadS
