soda blasting
i know sand blasting the engine and rearend is a nono cuz of the media getting into places it shouldnt be. but what about taking the paint off with baking soda? then dunk it in a electrolisis tank to get the rust/baking soda outta everything? just a thought that i might try if everyone else thinks it could work. im having a heck of a time figuring out a easy way to do it with the cast pieces without messing up the roughness

I would give a steam cleaner a try or take it to an automotive machine shop and have them dip it.

I've taken many nasty car engines, degreased, then stripped with a chemical stripper.... used a small cup brush on stubborn spots... and with a little elbow grease produced show quality results in no way harming the finish of the cast iron. Usually wash with soap and water followed by spraying off with a cup full of mineral spirits in a paint gun prior to paint.

Just a thought, why would you soda blast as it is applied the same way as sandblasting and get everywhere? If you are not rebuilding then wire brush and sand paper. If you are going to rebuild then by all means dip the block at the machine shop. Just my .02 worth

I think I would still be worried about contaminants in the soda. But that's just me.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
