I just bought a sandblast cabinet which I am using to clean up the rusty bits. I started with the spindle housings. Here is a set blasted primed and painted.

I also have a tank sandblaster that I will use to clean up the crusty deck. There are a few pin holes in the deck that needs attention from my mig welder. I need welding practice so this is the perfect opportunity. Pictured are the badly pitted deck and reinforcement plate. You can see I have my hands full but I hope to be mowing this spring.
