    Hobby tractor restoration project

    Now that's some really good advice, thanks I'll do just that.

    Hobby tractor restoration project

    I've been thinking of starting a weekend restoration project restoring an old tractor but I have no idea which one would be a good one to start on. I was thinking maybe a MF 135 or 290 but I'm not sure if those are a good choice for a newb like me. Does anyone here have any good suggestions for...

    Semi burned out JD5725

    Quick question. Scrap it or restore it? Last night during a thunder storm it caught fire, the operator station is gone, no glass, seat or anything else for that matter and it looks like the left side took the most damage. but the rest of the tractor seems to be fine, not sure if we should...

    Now that machine is a work of art.

    What if you mix? (Just as curious idea)

    Now we can't exactly drag a cutting torch into a field where we need to swap out a pivot wheel. No, we'll stick with the penetrating oils. But we do use the torch on other bolts & nuts where we really have no other choice.

    2 cycle oil? Is that the same as two stoke oil or am I mistaken? Sorry if I sound dumb but some of the naming conventions used for some products just go right over my head.

    I don't think that is available in South Africa.

    Hand Planter

    I've seen some of these before and seen them in action. You need a lot of stamina and a good strong lower back. Makes for a really good cardio workout, depending on the size of the field your planting.

    So, one penetrating and the other is displacement. A lot of the guy in the workshop thinks it's all the same thing, this is gonna be a fun conversation, or attempt at explaining the difference between the two.

    What if you mix? (Just as curious idea)

    Well we use either WD40 or Q20 to loosen nuts and bolts that are a little stubborn. So if I try any of the other ideas, I'll have better success at loosening bolts and nut, then with either WD40 or Q20?

    What if you mix? (Just as curious idea)

    Yes, I am in South Africa and here we have WD40, Q20 and I think one or two other brands I'm not familiar with. I'm just experimenting and see what works and what doesn't. Both WD40 and Q20 are uber expensive, so if I can mix something that will be cheaper and works just as well then why not...

    I'll give this a try as well. These all sound like good ides, apart from the acetone idea.

    What if you mix? (Just as curious idea)

    Thanks for letting me know, I'll drop the acetone idea.

    What if you mix? (Just as curious idea)

    I thought I had a dumb idea, seem like someone somewhere already tried this. Thanks I'll have a go at this too. But I basically just need a replacement for WD40, even if it is just temporary.
