But there is another cub, a 106 that is not covered by my friends house.


And there is a little mustang mower?


Not sure what to do because im expecting a John Deere 110 round fender that is coming this may.

That's a Continental lawn mower, not a mustang mower, I think. Nice work on the 100 Keep the pics comin!

Continental mowers are quite rare if i remember correctly. Sweet looking 100! and keep up the updates! That 106 looks good too! And it has IH wheel weights! By the way

Ask them about that #2 cart. It looks nice too.

Great video.

Question?

It seemed to me that your process was bubbling away like crazy. When I did mine I NEVER had such a bubbling like yours? It was just slow, & not to much action? This has got me stumped?

Had to keep my nose section in for about 3 days.

Any clue as to the difference??????

Nik,

Nik,
What type of additive to the water were you using?

I have the voltage on High for the demo, but still at 6V 3 amp, it bubbles.

I tried the baking soda, and powder. I was like you, it didnt have to much action. So, look for 100% LYE product, (my wife told me to use the lye, now she eggs me on to do more tractors). I found it in drain cleaner mentioned in the vid. Also, the more anodes you have surrounding the item, the better the action/ line of site. Im still deciding if I will supersize the same setup for my 55 gal/ frame work???? May use rebar in lieu of the 3/8 rod. Although that is decent and cheap way. Plus I can move them around until I get the bubbles I want.

Let me know if you need anything else. I will take a snap of the cast irton axle thats been soaking overnight.

Here are some pics of my axle. Its been soaking for two days. I have used a wire brush to help aid in the removal of stubborn paint.

Product.

Looks like it's doing a good job!

Good? I think a GREAT JOB!

I used Arm & Hammer washing soda. I'm going to look this weekend for the drain cleaner. Buy up some of that perforated angle iron & r-bar. Going to get a whole new system built for myself. Got an ole' 5 gal., plus going to keep my eyes open for something bigger.

Lets see, i'll call your system "SLICK".

Nik,

The frame is probably bent just in front of the front axle. With the engine and axle out just run a straight edge on the frame and set if it's out. It's from using the front end as a push bar or running into things. Pretty common.

Good luck Nik. Im gonna start the 55 gal system next week.
Hope all goes well. Its an easy way to remove the grease, rust and paint. Again, make sure that the product is 100% lye!!! no, 25% or 75%, that will help a TON!
