I am gonna start a restoration project on my tractor and I am wondering the best sander to use I am gonna purchase a grinder and a wire wheel to remove the rust
Mur386 said:don't forget to purchase a mask, some of the older paints had lead in them, you do not want to breath that into your lungs. And even if it did not have lead in the paint do you want to coat the insides of your lungs with old paint? have fun with the restore! The old tractors have great charactor and look awesome restored.

Thanks for the mask idea I forgot about that what sander would be better an orbital or a belt
Where are you located and do you have a website or anything
Mike476 said:Orbital sander is what you need. Stay away from grinding if at all possible. A small palm sander and some of the sponge pads with med grit on one side and coarse on the other (I found them handy for the crooks and crannys).
You don't need to spend a lot of money on a sander, 20 - 30 dollars will buy you what you need, unless you plan to take up restoring old vehicles as a hobby, then you would want to consider more expensive pneumatic tools.
You'll have fun and get to know your tractor pretty well.
