When I took it out, everything on it moved. I put it in the solution for several hours.
“I had a steering box from a Case tractor that was frozen solid. “I’ve found that it can even loosen parts that are rusted solid,” she says.
In fact, she has removed paint from parts as large as the hood from a Case 400 High-Crop. It’s also important that you connect your positive lead to the sacrificial electrodes and the negative lead to the part you want to clean.”īecky Hansen, who collects tractors with her husband, Jeff, near Lake Wilson, Minnesota, says she has been using electrolysis to clean parts for up to two years now. Be sure the part to be cleaned is immersed in the water and does not touch the sacrificial metal at any point. “Hang the parts to be cleaned from a steel or copper wire positioned in the middle of the container. In addition to providing a massive amount of surface area that surrounds the part 360°, the material is self-supporting around a tank’s perimeter. LaRue uses wire fencing as sacrificial steel. Place sacrificial steel electrodes around the edge of the container, and tie them together with wire.” Then stir in about 1/3 cup of washing soda for each 5 gallons of water. “The setup is really very simple,” LaRue says. Meanwhile, the positive cable is connected to another piece of iron or steel, known as the sacrificial electrode, which is placed into the tank.
The part that needs to be cleaned is placed in a solution of water and washing soda, and then it is connected to the negative cable from a battery charger or battery.
