Another vote for the hot fudge...and vanilla ice cream on apple pie...

Carl and Jeff:

I agree on the dessert, however my diabetes doesn't Sometimes the things in life that you have to give up as you get older...

[Lurker Carl]

Come on, Rudi. I'll get Cathy to whip up a no-sugar apple pie and serve it up with some low-sugar and low-fat ice cream. You know what your limits are but sometimes I cheat a tiny bit.

Carl:

I will hold you to that promise buddy... when Em and I come acallin k

My favorite:

Did anyone mention JB Weld? Oh! don't forget the GOJO (big orange jug!)

Yeah, I like Never-Seez also. I have a can smaller than the one pictured and it has a brush applicator attached to the lid/cap. I have had it for 25 years and I am scraping the bottom of the can now. I cant find it anywhere locally. Maybe I should try a plumbing supply house.

I have used Seafoam in the aerosol can, I think it's called "Deep Creep." It seems to work well. Another penetrating oil I really like is Agco "Panther" penetrating oil. Comes in a spray can about the size of a can of shaving cream. A Massey Ferguson or other Agco-brand farm equipment dealer should have it. It sort of foams a little and seems to cling to the part so that it can seep in better.

Neverseez, from the photo it looks like a copper based grease, in UK it's Copper-ease and should be readily available in all tractor sheds, invaluable for re-assembly if you wish to dis-assemble later on in life. Also very good for coating the majority of gaskets before assembly.

Just in passing, Hylomar Blue has been mentioned as a very good gasket non setting sealer originaly made for Rolls Royce.

Passing again, how about gasket material, I buy a metre square of .8mm paper for about 15Euros, enough to do about 3 tractors with all their paper gaskets, cheaper than ready mades, ballpein hammer, scisors and a couple of leather punches, away one goes.

WD40 has it's uses

Will keep the european mind ticking over Rudi and the gang.

This is a great idea. I had never heard of a lot of these products until I got on this forum and asked a question about a sticky engine. I used Seafoam on my valves and it worked like a charm. It freed them up and cleaned all the build up off and they're moving freely now.

I like the format and it will help us new folk getting started on our Cub restoration. I look forward to owning this tractor and usubg more now that it's running again.

My list

penetrating oil
#1 PB blaster WD-40 is thin and evarporats quickly PB sticks around LPS-3 is good for something that needs long term protection it is kinda waxy and will keep a crank jurnal from rusting in the garage for two years. Haven't tried Koil yet.

Never-seize I use the Cat brand with the copper in it. I use it on everything that doesn't need sealant. lug nuts between the hub and alumin rims etc.

Sea foam did not seem to do much in the gas. But I put two oz in the oil every 1,000 miles or so in 4 cylinder ranger with +186,000 miles and it stopps it from sparknocking (which it does quite badly without it) Amazing.

Pies they should call them sugar pies with a hint of fruit Grandma's apple pie has a table spoon of sugar sprinkled on the crust and thats it. Tastes grate to me I cannot make my self eat those sugar pies. I want that much sugar I will suck on a sugar cube.

I have ANOTHER "test item" for KROIL...I picked up another McCormick-Deering Sickle Blade Sharpener this weekend. It's SO RUSTED together that the gears won't budge, or turn! Soooo, I'm gonna KROIL it today and tomorrow and I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'll take BEFORE & AFTER photos of it (but I still can't figure out how to post them to a thread)!
