I agree with Rusty. Sandblasting a whole tractor is asking for a major amount of trouble.

Don't think you can seal everything off. I had a bodyman do that with a pickup I once owned. Was putting in rocker panels and needed to blast some of the floor boards. He thought he had the dash sealed off "real well". As a result I got the privilage of replacing the Radio, Light switch, and speedo. I found sand in all of these componants plus quite a ways up in the steering column.

If you are working on the gas tank and concerned I would suggest the inert gas idea. I know peole have used car exhaust but I would be a little iffy about that. Modern cars are so clean their exhaust will still support combustion.
