I read here about "sandblasting" and I see photos in tractor magazines and have seen club members restorations where maybe the tin and some other parts are taken off and then the remainder is sandblasted before painting and reassembly. I realize that tape etc. is used to supposedly seal off seals, bearings, bushings, crevices, etc. but I've seen some of these restorations and I seem to find sand almost everywhere, most of it hidden of course but still there. In my opinion, it just is not the way to do it unless you are down to bare single and unattatched castings which I don't thik happens that often. What's your opinion on doing a restoration this way? I don't think I'd ever consider buying a restored tractor that was blasted in this way, you just cannot get all the sand off (or out) afterwards.
