One day I had nothing to do. Had an old 4 cycle push lawn mower and a 2 cycle weed eater that had been sitting for years. Wouldn't start. Gave them the SF treatment and got both running. I use it in everything except my tractors and I use Power Services products in the fuel. However several years ago I bought a 1988 Ford tractor that only had 900 hours.
Got it home and did the fluids change thing. Put in new oil and cranked it up and in a heartbeat the oil was turning black. Drained it and felt through the drain hole and had about 1/4 of sludge on the bottom of the pan......if you let dirty oil sit for an extended period, all the contaminants that were in suspension fall to the bottom....proved that looking at a clear plastic container I had sitting around for many years....bottom was black, oil had pretty much returned to honey color.
Anyway, I dumped in a 16 oz can of SF into the oil I drained out and put it all back in. Ran it for about 30 minutes at around 1000 RPM, shut it down, drained the oil (very black) and stuck my finger in the drain hole again....sludge gone. Put in fresh oil and filter and it stays clear initially like it should.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
