I have three methods of part revival that will work for nuts and bolts.

BIG;





SMALL;





SLOW;



Big and Small use Black Magic grit, Slow uses Washing Soda, and a GT battery with a charger.

They both spin, the "Small" was an epoxy mixer, works great!!



Maybe you could make one out of an old Cub Cadet transaxle!!

Matt G has a good write up on his site about replating bolts.

Default Citric acid bath

I clean the hardware with acetone then put it in a citric acid solution (1 Cup to a gallon of water).

For a container I picked up one of those cheap plastic storage totes at an after charismas clearance sale. let sit 24 hours take them out then a couple of seconds with a wire wheel. It wont fix any pits but it'll shine like new. I've done an entire Brinly plow, an 1890 Oliver plow, & all of the rusty parts on my 127 this way.

Citric acid is the stuff in Catsup & Coke that cleans rust. Any way you can buy in on amazon or eBay (its the same stuff that goes into your wife's bath bombs) I like to dissolve it in hot water (gallon or so) and add the rest of the water. it non GMO, gluten free and most importantly non toxic. it doesn't off-gas like electrolysis and doesn't require special handling or special disposal.

Plain old white vinegar for rust.
Mineral spirits for oil/grease.
Ya gotta get the grease & crap off first before the vinegar will touch the rust.
Then a trip to the wire wheel on the bench grinder.
Vinegar turns the rust to mush and the wire wheel takes it off.
Then toss 'em into a can/jar with a little diesel/solvent/mineral spirits whatever to keep 'em clean tiil Ya need em. I use peanut butter or mayonaize jars. Shake 'em up once in a while.

THat's not counting the money you'll have to spend to replace the half of them that are launched into low earth orbit never to be seen again until you move.

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.
