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.johnbron":1xmxo0t4 said:
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. :wink: I'll take BEFORE & AFTER photos of it (but I still can't figure out how to post them to a thread)!

I have purchased 3 of those things after seeing yours at Cubfest!
I gave my Dad the best one it still had red paint on it looks orginial. The one I kept had the index tab broken off so I went looking for another and found one missing parts but the indexing tab was good. None of these turned very well at all, to say the least they were nasty. So I sprayed them down with Sea Foam Deep Creep and now they all spin easily!
I did get mine fixed up now I need to find a wheel to mount them on. Your idea was great. Hope you don't mind if I kinda borrow it It is just too good to pass up!
Thanks Ron
