Why do you want to sandblast? The only parts of the tractor that need to be quite clean & smooth are the hood, gas tank, air cleaner, seat pan, and radiator shroud. These should be sanded before painting. The engine block, frame, transmission, and rear end plus wheel hubs are rough castings and just need to be thoroughly de-greased before painting. I would not recommend sandblasting anything I could not carry or roll and that part should not be assembled while blasting. Elbow grease goes a long way and it is not expensive! Pay attention to details by cleaning behind and under.
