CC1450, only 10 bucks for the 55 gal drum, five to seven t post laying around and 12 bucks for the lye product. It has help emensly in removing rust and paint. I have used a wire brush and or wheel to remove the stubborn paint. Overall, very impressed. Heres a closeup pic of that tower after some cleaning and primer.




Also got the frame soaking. Will take a just after bath shot. I promise.
ran another t-post as close to the center as possible.


Here is one shot of the engine shrowding.


Ooooh the bubbles.

could you use a steel drum as the tank and hook the + up to the drum itself? Just curious, I have a steel 55 gallon drum here somewhere.

Those parts are coming out top notch. It's amazing what you learn around here just looking at the threads.

Not sure if you could use a steel drum since your pos is the sacrificial anode. Maybe you could try, but do NOT touch it unless its disconnected. I have seen rebar, a welded ring that sat in the bottom and some just use a old lawn mower blade. I guess its up to the user. Let us know how it works out if you decide to do it.

Methos,
I plan on doing three tractors this summer, so I wont know for sure what I will be doing with it. I do know that we find yard tools and other left outside items that could use a good soaking every now and then.

The tanks remind me of the "dip" in the movie who framed roger rabbit.

I would ask around about disposal when the time comes. With the 55 gals of water diluting the drain cleaner so much I imagine you could just dump it down the toilet 5 gals at a time, then bag and toss any sediment/solids left in the bottom.

That is what I was thinking. Like I mentioned, I have two other tractors to do this summer and I have a buddy in the Haz Mat team around here. I will ask him later. Im guessing that with drain cleaner and water, sould be fine. Then as you mentioned, I could filter the remaining solids and possibly dry them, then throw it away.

I read some info about zinc coating on Matts webpage. Not sure if I want to play with different types of acid to get shinny bolts??????

I love how this works but being on a septic system I'm worried about the waste once I would be done with it. Not looking forward to crashing my septic system. Looking forward to any info on this.

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.
