Default Removing Rusted Nuts With a Candle

Have not tried this but thought I'd pass it along. We never have rusty nuts on Cubs.

I am definitely going to try this. Sure hope it works especially on steering wheel nuts.

I've done it quite a few times and learned it from a machinist friend years ago, It's worked more times than not.

I use beeswax in the shop, It works well on exhaust manifold studs that don't want to turn most of the time.
The thing about beeswax, is it withstands a higher heat than penetrating oil.
You can heat it up with a torch (studs/bolts) and keep adding the wax, reheat and do it again.
You can get the studs too hot and they will ignite the wax, but no problem really.
It is a high temp lube sort to speak.
It is an old steel mill trick.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
