Electrolysis or Sandblasting

[Cub-Bud]

I am ready to start cleaning the cultivators that will go under Dad's '48 cub. I am back and forth between sandblasting everything or using electrolysis to remove the rust. I am leaning toward sandblasting....I don't know how clean I could scrub the difficult parts like the spring trips and pressure springs. Anyone here cleaned any cultivators lately

[John *.?-!.* cub owner]

Never cleaned any cultivators, but I have done some sandblasting, and I would think that if electrolsysis were used to remove as much as possible that the sandblasting would then be much quicker and easier. Plus, it's going to be interesting to snadblast the inside of those springs.

Ditto what John said. The Electrolsis will cut the sandblasting time by at least 60 persent. really saves on the compressor.

Ditto, John and Basketcase. no contest. and if there is any paint left on the item, it loosens it right up. My entire tractor went into the goop, one piece at a time, except for the engine and trans.
