Have a coke

[033614]

Hi guys, just thought I'd pass this one on. Lots of old tractors are siezed after standing for years. Tried this after an old fella offered his advice. Fill the pots with coke-a-cola, Leave for a week or so and try again! It definitely works.

Less old iron about now, She Who Must Be Obeyed has ordered a clearout!!!!

It is a well known fact that the acid in a can of coke will eat/desolve rust.

So, which is better for your rings and cylinders, Coke, or WD-40 (phosphoric acid, or oil of wintergreen)?

I've never used Coca Cola for that, but when I was a police officer working at night, it was the best thing I ever found for removing the film on the windshield in rainy weather. I'd just pour it across the top of the windshield with the wipers going. If it was raining enough to wash it on off the car, that was all I did. If not, then spray it with a water hose to rinse is off. And of course, I've also done that to my personal car when I had to drive at night in wet weather.

Coke cancels battery acid too, just in case you have one to blow up. It can stop acid from eating your clothes and shoes..

Who cares? It's OK with me if it takes the rust off my teeth.

The mention of Coke on the windhshield reminds me....read a few years back where frequent users of automatic carwashes were complaining of hazy windshields....turns out that some of the car was chemicals had hydrofluoric acid in it to improve cleaning....but that also etches glass!
