Rust, Paint and baked on grease removal.

I have been working on a cub 100 over the past three months. So, I do not have access to a sandblasting cabinet nor have the money to invest in a small,portable one. I do want to remove the paint and rust of my cub. I did some searching to find out what was out there. I found out that I could use some stuff laying around. I had a old car charger, some chicken wire. I have looked on the internet and other fellow cubbers webpages to check into electrolisis to remove rust.
I first tried baking soda and powder, and set up the line of sight setup. No good.

I worked towards another solution. I went to a hardware store and picked up a 3 ft piece of shelving, and six 2 ft 3/8" threaded rods. I made a pentagon shape to fit on top of the bucket, cut the rods in half and placed a nut on the top of each sacrificial anodes.

This worked very well. As far as the additive to the water, LYE.

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.
