Gotcha! 
Heat stripped my 3205 garden tractor hitch a few minutes ago using my propane weed burner and a razorblade scraper. If you don't feel safe then don't do this. I'm an adult and take responsibility for what I do. If you aren't then just don't do it or take all the precautions you need to keep you from killing yourself, I'm not responsible for you, yadda, yadda.
This had a layer of peeling paint over shiny powdercoating so it needed to be taken off to get paint to stick to it. I stripped all the sheetmetal last week the same way. This took much longer to heat than the sheetmetal did due to the thickness of the hitch. I could wave the heat over the sheetmetal and the paint and powdercoat would blister right up. After I stopped the vid I donned a Left welding glove to finish up. The subsequent heatings took less time because the thick hitch had already soaked up heat.
