Re: 1918 Model H (Basket case) restoration

Had a little play today with one of the old rubber wheels.

Started by cutting a grove in it with a nice little chainsaw wheel that attaches to the grinder started to peel back one part but the decided I was going to give the molasses bath a try and see if it will make this easier. (will find out in about a weeks time)

I would be more inclined to use the electrolysis process to remove the rust. That works GOOD!

Must have been the salty air on that long ocean voyage to OZ. They were not a bit rusty when I shipped them, even OZ customs agreed letting them leave the port! Wink Wink! :jester:
