Darrell - I know Harbor Freight has them! Not sure if you are a HF person or not. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?category=&q=needle+scalerMike

I bought one of the larger Needle Scalers from HF a few years ago when rebuilding the D17 S4
It worked much better than I thought it would, and made the paint removal a (relatively) easy task. Got into very tight corners.
They didnt have the smaller version then.
Make sure you use eye and ear protection!

I have used the HF scaler and found it to be a good unit. I bought mine when they had a sale on them. It works best for me on cast iron and steel. Works but kinda slow on sheet metal.

ask the parts store if they carry chicago pneumatic (CP). The part number is CP-7120. There are also generics out there. Sears should carry them as well. karl f

It is a paint chipper. It is an air powered tool, kinda like an air chisel, but, instead of a bit, it has a whole bunch of individual needles that operate individually

How the dickens have you and the boys restored those tractors without one is what I want to know??? We have gone through a few of them and all of them we have owned from $150 units down to $20 HF cheapos beat themselves to bits in seemingly short order. We keep a couple HF cheapo scalers in stock now and give them a heave when they become a problem, seems like we are bette roff than when we were trying to keep the $150 I-R going.

Butch, I usually have sand blasted most of the cast iron parts, however its a costly and dirty job, so I thought with a new shop, warm and dry, I would try something different

I bought a HF needle scalier a couple months ago to clean up the inside of some wheels, did a great job. I kind of avoid anything HF sells that has an electric motor but the quality does seem to be improving quite a bit. Don't buy the cheapo vice grips tho, bad investment!

Also works very well at removing rust and sl*g for welding.
