Default OK dumb question...

Is it possible to get the smell of 40 year old Hy-Tran out of rubber?

Here's the story.... when I went to change the fluid in the 127 some (about a gallon) of hy-tran spilled on the garage floor.... Well, I had my good NB 992 on (USA made) and apparently some of the hy-tran soaked into the sole or something. Now they reek of old hy-tran. Not that I mind it that much, but apparently my wife doesn't like the smell as much as me. Oh ya, I've washed them a couple times too.

Try simple green? I'd let the soles soak in that full strength for a while in a shallow pan.

I'll get it a shot... I guess now I see why some places require chemical resistant soles.

I have found that when I mow the dog kennel, the stuff in there will petty much take any smell you had on tires and completely replace it. Not saying it's any better, LOL.

That's why you need a kennel big enough to ride instead of push!!! been there, done that!

wash your shoes with a can of coke in the water. that should do it. When in the military I had to wash my overalls and that is what I used. We had to work on some nasty stinky stuff.

It will also take the smell of human decomp out of you skin as well.

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.
