Yep, its a slow process. I used a plastic 5 gal bucket & suspended the part from copper wire wrapped around an old fiberglass arrow to keep it off the bottom of the bucket. I used a hose clamp to tie the wire to the part-gotta change the location from time to time, so it all gets a chance to clean. I also used a wire bursh from time to time to loosen the rust, changed the clamp's location then. I also just wrapped the wire around some things, but a clamp worked best-I think a good connection is really important. BTW, don't figure on using the hose clamp again. I connected the charger's clip to the wire. (Trust me, you DO NOT want the clip in the solution & don't ask how I know this.) I left the sacrificial tin sheet long enough so it was above the solution & connected directly to it. Make sure the part is completely submerged. I just used my battery charger on trickle charge & left it for several days. Water wasn't warm-did this last fall in garage when it was freezing outside. I cut up a coleman fuel can for the "sacrificial" metal thats needed. I'd used other "tin" cans, but the flat side of a coleman can worked the best-I just split the can down the narrow sides & cut across the top & bottom w/tin snips. (Careful, sharp edges can cut fingers-don't ask!) Biggest thing is that the part & the sacrificial tin chunk cannot touch, current must pass through the solution to work best. (You will be able to see movement in the solution. Rust actually moves from the part to the sacrificial tin chunk.) Don't remember which terminal goes where, gotta read Baggsy's article again to refresh my old brain. Getting a bad case of CRS disease, I guess. (Another $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches.
