Draudio 32 #51 Posted April 17, 2014 Sorry fellas, no forward progress yet, but i'm trying. Last weekend had to work on a chainsaw to do some cleanup from the ice storm a while back that took down some trees. Just been getting to my typical spring chores and trying to get the garden started had been a b**ch. This winter SUCKED! However it won't be long because I've been itchin' to get back at it. It is killing me to have to keep passing it while doing other work. I do have more done than what the pics show above, so when I do get started I can at least post some progress pics right away! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The guy that gave me these just told me he found the mower deck and it is in good condition. All I have to do is find time to go get it (over an hour away), hopefully this weekend! Maybe if I get enough people posting to see the progress I can argue to my wife that I have to make it a top priority. Gotta give the people what they want, right?! Thanks for the continued interest, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Burkard 4 #52 Posted April 17, 2014 Wow, what a great restoration. I would have thought that's a parts tractor. Good to see another piece restored. If you don't mind me asking, I am new here and not familiar with the E-tank electrolysis process where can I get the info on how to do this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Draudio 32 #53 Posted April 18, 2014 Hi JT, thanks for the comment. As for the e-tank: This site is one that helped me understand the process- http://antique-engines.com/electrol.asp This page describes the chemical science behind it- http://antique-engines.com/electrol-details.asp A search on google for "electrolysis rust removal" will provide you with lots of examples. There are youtube videos that walk you through the process also. This can be done on any scale, I used a 40(or so) gallon Rubbermaid tub but if your just doing small parts a 2 or 5 gallon bucket works fine. I've even seen one the size of a small pool! Here are links to two other sites that really helped me understand how it works and how to set it up. Just remember to be safe and set up the tank outside. The process releases hydrogen and oxygen, the same as the fuels that launch the space shuttle! http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tools/Electrolysis.htm http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyspatch/rust.htm Make sure to let us know how it goes for you and as always See pics below for an example of how my setup looks. I've also been meaning to get pics of my e-tank up here. 2013-08-27 20.08.46 adjusted.jpg2013-08-27 20.58.21 adjusted.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
