Anyone using boiled linseed oil needs to be aware of the potential for spontaneous combustion. ANYTHING, rags, brushes etc. with linseed oil on it must be dried in an open area away from your shop or stored in a firesafe container.

The interwebs shows this for penetrol as well.

I agree with everything Bob but that statement. If you take away the oxygen the rust will stop. Say by coating with grease or oil or even WD-40. We have this discussion every year at plow day about our shares & lots of guys just use WD and it seems to work. 

 

Funny no one has mentioned boiled linseed oil. Now I have only used it one or twice but it seems to work. It dries and protects put it does attract dust which usually washes off in mild soap and water. It leaves a dull patina which I prefer. I believe patinas shouldn't be shiny unless a custom. 

It probably should be reapplied every so often. 

This 400 was done with it. 

 

There is no such thing as wrong decals Don  .. unless they say JD ... :lol:

 

Nice tractors this thread fellas ... :thumbs2:

Jim:  I like the boiled linseed oil too.   I have used on two or three of my Wheel Horse tractors.   I put on this latest RJ.   

 

D.J. Harrison says.  GIBBS Oil  also is a good coating to place on tractors to protect the metal and patina look.

I keep a supply of cheap Horror Fright chip brushes on hand. After use they go in the trash and can spontaneously combust in the landfill
