Default rust

Hello, used to see spray cans called Rid Rust, sold to companys only. A friend worked in a tin foundry and they used it to lube there conveyors. You should've seen that stuff foam and eat rust, best i've ever seen. Was used in the Cleveland area, might have been made there. Sure would like to have some. Mike

I have tried pb blaster never had much luck. All I use is kroil I have seen it do some amazing things. I had a friend that had stuck valves in his 76 pickup ,squirted some on let it sit 15min and it was freed up like new! he had even pounded on it with a dead blow hammer before and couldn't move it,it moved after the kroil oil! I tried a test with pb and kroil sprayed some on my old rusty vise 3 days later the pb dried up and the kroil you could see on it yet. I like it works for me,to each his own though!...Brian

A guy I know has been restoring cars & m/c's for over 30 years & quite good at it if I may add. He swears by liquid wrench.

I on the other hand have PB Blaster & it works quite well. I soak the snot out of it & let it sit overnight, hit it again & ?. So when I run out ill try liquid wrench to keep on hand, since my projects are not going to be any major activities.

Ill keep it simple.

NIK,

They never tested the CHN Industrial strength rust penetrant. This is what I use and found it to work better than PB.. They sell this at the local CNH dealership along with OEM cub parts. Interesting results though and great product to test around with.

You can "scientifically rust" a series of bolts with salt spray.

You guys have got to try ACF-50 it is a penetrant/lubricant used primarily in the avaiation industry. I had some given to me by a family member in the industry, it is amazing. I have lost count of the lost causes that have been loosened with it.

We use to use that method in the Army ACF-50, it works great. Plus side It's Cheap! My Farther and I used it when we restored our 1917 Model T. Bolts sized for over 75 years of sitting in a field in Nebraska, and it worked like a charm..

PB blaster is better then what the test shows. I can contest. Not saying there are not better products out there but PB never let me down.

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.
