I have a nice restored fuel tank for the 616-720 Tractors. I glassbeaded it in and out, pressure tested it, painted it and its ready to go. $75. + the ride if interested. Will be posting some other nice clean 616-720 parts soon.

Correct! I have two glass bead cabinets. One for really crusty stuff which has a more abrasive media (Medium) glass bead, and the other cabinet has a less abrasive (fine) glass bead. When it comes to certain items that just need surface material removed like corrosion on electrical parts, surface rust, etc. the fine glass bead does a beautiful job removing those types of items. I also use the fine glass bead when I rebuild anything that is aluminum. ie- Carburetors, Magneto's etc. If they have heavy coats of paint on such items, I dunk em' in the tank for a day or two first. That removes the top gunk/paint. I then soap wash the item, dry it, and then it goes to the bead cabinet with the fine bead. This also in turn keeps the glass bead from getting contaminated. Glass bead isn't cheap! I bead blast a lot of chassis parts with the more abrasive media in the other cabinet. That media removes heavy rust and scale. My large cabinet is large enough for a fender off a car/truck. I can actually do a B,C,CA torque tube in it. The parts come out excellent....
