8/17/2023 0 Comments John deere 1010 dozer engine![]() I've been away from the computer for a few days and was catching up on some reading on "Tractor Talk". Last time I bought it I purchased it at a drugstore. I was able to unstick an antique briggs in a week and didn't even have to tap the piston at all to free it up. I was shown this trick by some old aircraft mechanics and have had alot of success with it. I have found that Oil of Wintergreen is a wonderful penetrant. ![]() It takes time for an engine to set up, and it will take time to free it. The key to "unsticking" a engine is paitence. I have had pretty good luck with Marvel Mystery Oil. I haven't tried this on an engine, (I really like to avoid sticking an engine) but the best general-purpose rust penetrant I've found is Kroil from Kano Labs. Good luck, you'll get it loose if you have the patience. Then spray in the diet coke or rust mort to dissolve the hard stuff. Need to keep things soaked in the stuff for a few weeks if possible. At least if you use Diet you won't have the sugar gumming things up.Īctually the best tried and true remedy is good ol Marvel Mystery Oil. The active ingredient that acts as a rust cutter is phosphoric acid, same as in Naval Jelley or Rust Mort. Or what if the preacher drops by, "oh, I just use that stuff for rusty bolts and such".Īlcohol works well,try it and let us know the outcome.Īs for the reply suggesting coca-cola, Strongly suggest using the diet variety if you go that way. It's worth a try to pass this logic pass your wife, when your justifing your purchase of a 1/2 gal. Would you not be worried that alcohol consists of mostly water? I've also heard that coca-cola is good for the same purpose, maybe the water is the secret. Alcohol for the equipment not the operator. I'd try a penatrating solvent first tho'. This might sound kind of quirky, but alcohol has a way of working it's way thru anything. What followed are some interesting replies: Two pistons right at the top, other two down. The discussion started out with the following post: Another great discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum.
