how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Good morning y'all

Question, my log splitter fuel tank has corrosion. I really can't get to it with a wire brush. Any recommendations on a chemical that might break it up?

Buy a box of BB's, dump in the tank and start shaking.

I am on the hunt for a husky 550 or 545XP with a decomp button.
Newer the better. But needs a decomp, and the new ones don't have one.

I'd just sell him my 346, but can't bring myself to part with it.

You can always add one.

Great idea! I was thinking of using pebbles but I like your idea better

I think I remember guys removing rust from chains with a mix of 50% transmission fluid and 50% acetone. Maybe Carl can help.

No Carl can’t.

Long story but: My ‘53 Ford 1/2 ton had a very rusty tank after sitting in a corn field for years.

Radiator shop boiled it out but that left a ton of rust powder.

I ended up using an extra large sediment bowel w/filter in line. Plus shut off valve so I could clean it ever so often. Spare Filters in the glove box.

Very frequently. Like coast to the side of the road because the engine died. [emoji90]

Took over a year before it cleared up.

Do the new ones come threaded for one? Or is it a drill and tap situation?

No boss in the cylinder for one. You'll be knocking a flat, then drilling and tapping.

You could do it race saw style with a vertical one.

I’ve got a brand new oe 550 cylinder here that has the plug hole in it if you need it. I was saving it for a project but ain’t gonna get to it for a bit.

If it comes to that, I will holler...

It’s for my uncle. He’s 78 this year.. still cuts a lot, but the new markII’s don’t come with a decomp.

I told him the original 550’s had one.. now I gotta find one.. or something..

@BrettL I have used Kreem Products in the past with excellent results.
They have a prep and liner kit.
I think the last time I used it was 30 or so years ago, man am I getting old!
But not as old as Carl….

Was that product white or cream colored one coated inside and done? If so I used that product as well many years ago with great results.

Never seen that b4. Looks promising. Have you used it? I could use that on a cat pony gas tank I’ve got that needs patched.

Morning midlanders!

One above in River City. [emoji90]

Call into work this morning that the shop truck is froze up, is what I’d do.

Second the Red Kote. Used it on a tank for 1210 Case tractor years ago that had cracks and still holding strong. Got some on a jacket when doing it and the jacket wore out before the stain did.

You might want to find a carb model. From mine and others experiences the autotunes don't like to hot start with the decomp button pushed in.

Morning everybody.
