Hello; I have a tractor that has been stripped down to the engine, transmission, and rear axles. I need to clean it but I don't know which way to go. I have a small sand blaster (1/2" ID hose) but I can't rent an air compressor big enough to run it. I was also exploring the option of renting a steam pressure washer and steam cleaning all the old paint and grease off. If I sand blasted it, i'd have to carry the chassis to someone and have them do it by means of loading/unloading with a forklift which kinda scares me. I'm also worried about sand getting in the engine and transmission. I can't rent a true steam cleaner, but the guy says he'll rent me a high pressure washer that may or may not remove the paint so it sounds skeptical at best. Should I spray the whole thing down with oven cleaner and try my luck with the pressure washer (even though I have new gaskets all over the place) or do I run the risk of sandblasting and do it myself being extrememly careful? What say ye? Jeb

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
