Hehe, yeah I can get in my garage, just....

Plenty of threads on this elsewhere Neil, but it's pretty easy to start small and work up.
So I'd start with a small tub/barrel....
Fill to the top with water, add a few tablespoons of washing Soda crystals, not bicarbonate!
Find a piece of clean steel and fasten it to the inside running down to the bottom, I usually put this inside a piece of plastic waste pipe with holes in. This stops it shorting out on the piece you are cleaning.
Find either a good battery charger, or a good battery with a reasonable charger. You need a good 12v supply.
Connect the positive to the clean metal with wire/crocs clips. Try not to let the clips go into the solution.
Connect the negative to the dirty piece and lower it into the tank.
If you have a reasonable charger the current will move up to around 1A depending on the size of the anode and piece being cleaned.
After a few mins you should see bubbles coming from the piece being cleaned, after an hour there will be a brown scum floating on the top.
The rest is patience, some pieces clean pretty quick, some take days/weeks. You have to keep cleaning the anode and sometimes help by scraping some of the loose paint away.
I think that kinda covers the basics

Yup,
Both work for me!
Big decals, soapy water, they slide into place
-
I watched this a few times always makes me smile. The exploding engine is actually favourited on YouTube already!

Me and the kids would love that much snow for about a week...

I thought I'd given a big clue in the top of the thread
It was a nice tractor and ran sweet as a nut, we like those Briggs engines. Never had any trouble with them.... Well they aren't temperature tolerant. I have two melted ones up the garden
-
that is great Neil, thanks for taking the time to scan!
-
Nice collection, they look better without the gatecrasher...

He stripped most of it and painted it, by hand in the kitchen mainly.
I did the wiring and stickers, my dad and brother rebuilt the engine.
Team effort really

Here's a few pics of my sons westwood, after being finished and featured in T&M he got a really good offer and ended up selling it to do his C-121 resto.

Good stuff! Do you speak to Alan much who runs our section? It might be good to tell him that we have 20 horses coming this year.
