I'm wondering if anyone uses electrolytic cleaning on the flywheel? Curious as to whether there would be any issues putting the magnets in there.

I don't think I would chance that if I were you. If it doesn't destroy the magnets, it would likely loosen the adhesive that holds them on the flywheel.

I didn't put it in the citric acid-based cleaner I've been using because I was concerned about the magnets. I guess it doesn't really need to be de-rusted, being under the blower cover and all. But it sure is ugly.

Question Revese electrolysis for gas tank?
I am considering trying a "reverse" electrolysis on a 124 gas tank. Instead of dipping the entire tank I thought that if I could get the pos electrodes to hang inside, from the cap opening, and hook the negative to the tank itself I could push off repainting till spring and get the tank insides rust free.

Is this a mistake someone has already made? Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Is the drain cleaner/lye used with a battery charger - or just as a caustic broth?

Thanks,

Calvin

I can get a free stainless steel milk tank and I was wondering if that could be used for this process or do I need a plastic tank?

Thanks for your input in advance.

If I had the stainless tank, I would use it!!

BUT,

I would still suspend insulated conductor plates so the tank is less involved in the process.

OK if I understand this, I want to keep what I'm cleaning and the plate that the crud is attracted to insulated from the tank? Don't see that as a problem. Nice thing about this tank is it looks like it's big enough that I can put a complete frame in all at once.

Just noticed that Matt G said "Do not use a metal tank" so if not why not? I'm new to this idea and have no great desire to blow myself up

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
