and pick a vendor near you, call and discuss your needs.

There are hundreds of types.

You can even get some types at TSC Stores.

For the flash rusting...

Pick up a gallon of this from Home Depot, it's about $15.00 and a little goes a LONG way. You can dilute it and wipe your parts with it as soon as your done blasting. It will remove the flash rusting and stop it for a couple days too.

The active ingredient is phosphoric acid (a weak solution). You can go to the parts store and buy the same thing but it will cost a lot more.

I've tried the stuff from TSC, total crap, Lowes masonry sand, not too bad, I am now using sand from the local NAPA, so far it's the best. I'll try to remember to get you the name of it.

Sand...
you must wear proper protection when using it as a blast media.breathing in the dust will cause silicosis.
It is a one time use.
If you using it with the pressure washer it is fine.

I use black beauty in my gun.you can get a few uses out of it.
Valley mason supply in vernon has it in different grits.
still need protection though.

If your using a pressure washer blaster no need for a respirator, no dust. But you will need face protection and a rain suit, ask me how I know.

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.
