rust removal
Some shots of the electrolysis system used to get rid of this nasty rust. A 55 gallon plastic drum has done a nice job loosening the rust from years of neglect on the snow thrower parts. The 6 steel anodes inside the tank hooked to a battery charger positive lead (red) and the neg lead (white) is hooked to the part you want to clean. I used about 2 boxes of the A&H Super Washing soda for the electrolyte in the water. Some parts take about 2-6 hours in the tank. wire brush off the loose stuff ( looks like soot). Dry the part. Then I have been using a stainless steel cup brush to prep the surface for primer.
Regards,
Chris
