Rusty, Sandblasting, while a time saver, isn't necessarily the only or best method of stripping and cleqaning a tractor. I use a wire wheel on nuts and bolts as well as small parts. I sand the sheet metal, and I use a needle scaler for the castings. I realize that it is quite slow and if I had to do it for a living or make a profit on a restoration, I might sand blast a lot of parts I could remove from the tractor, but I'm not sure about around the engine. Duct tape does a great job but there are just places one wouldnt want to get near with a sand blaster. I haven't used the oven cleaner/power wash method, but I have seen the results and in many cases does a credible job except where the paint is unusually thick. I think each tractor presents a different set of circumstances and that is why so many methods remain viable options.
