We tried one at work and it didn't work very well, another downfall is that you now have wet bare metal which leads to rust.

I have one. I'm very happy with it. I find that if I use the blow gun as soon as I'm done to dry the parts the rust is minimal. I prime with rusty metal primer. So far no problems. Here is the thread on it.

I have one. Funny though, I haven't used it yet. Bought it because Sam liked his, and I had used one before with good luck.

I'm might give it a try and take the same approach I did when washing my mountain bikes. After cleaning them I pulled out the leaf blower. Nice and dry

I'm not restoring here and don't need it to be perfect, I just need the rust and paint off. Did you have any issues with moisture in the lines? I also bought an inline filter to help reduce the moisture since I heard it could affect the sand and cause clogging. I still think I'll get the power washer version for when I do the really big parts of the tractor since my uncle has this amazing pro grade washer that I have actually cut 2x4's with HAHAHAHA! So with that baby I'll have the power to really clean some stuff up, but for smaller parts and engines I think something smaller like this will be perfect. Still, any tips on pressure, media and use would be wonderful! Thank you for this link

I only knew they made a compressed air version.

The only blaster I ever used was a pressurized tank version.

The air one you bought relies on the venturi/vacuum effect at the sand and air flow junction.

I would get me a bag of blasting sand and put some in a 5 gallon bucket.

Keeping the sand as dry as possible is a big issue. Maybe a light bulb down in the sand or an electric charcoal starter? Keeping the sand warm and dry.

The reviews look good on that product. Let us know what you think about it. I'm thinking of getting one too. Can't really go wrong for that price.

So any tips on what type of sand to buy? I've never done this before and there are quite a few options. Sand of different grits, walnut ?!?, glass UGH!

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.
