That is funny! I alway have apple cider vinegar around here to soak the horses hooves in! It takes care of thrush and keeps their hooves very healthy!

Weedwoman, that is a very impressive collection! And I like how you have them displayed. Do you always leave them uncovered, or do you have to dust often? They are all so shiny and clean, I keep mine in the "cases" so they won't get dusty. Would love to display them like you do.

Apple Cider vinegar kills the bad bacteria that causes thrush - fungus type thing that horses get in their hooves when we have a lot of wet weather - but, it doesn't kill 'all' the bacteria as horses need some of the bacteria to keep their hooves healthy! Probably more than most of you wanted to know!

I will do a tute today on electrolysis cleaning of your rusted parts and post this evening. All you need is a few things and it works really good.
I have a few things that need the cleaning on a customers machine that I will use this method of cleaning.

I've read where that treatment is good for humans to soak their feet in when they have athletes foot.

I just tried soaking my rusted machine feet in the white vinegar for 5 minutes and then rubbing a bit with some 0000 steel wool-- Worked like magic to remove the rust and polish the feet! I noticed it works better on the chrome feet than some of the other attachments that are made of some other metals.
Thank you for this suggestion!

Not a good day! Trying to put my 2000 Gammill longarm quilting machine back into operation. The main on/off switch broke off during shipment from NM to KS. So have to order a new one before I can proceed. Think I'll go chew nails.
