Default My new found White machine... cleaning it up

well all, I got her home. she looks great but is seized up... so once again, another one of my ladies is in the spa! I sprayed her down and hopefully she will come around to turning.. but all and all she is a beauty.

Tri-Flow, Tri-Flow, Tri-Flow, Tri-Flow, ....... I think I've heard that somewhere before .... hmmmm. Oh wait, somewhere around here.

Don't force anything, and using the liquid oil with the applicator straw gets more lube to the areas than a spray does. The sprays use a carrier that dilutes the lubricant somewhat. One reason I don't use it often.

That's funny, Joe, I almost always agree with you and have been known to learn from you. (Thanks!) However, I swear by carefully aimed spray (in non-pressurized bottle) of Tri-Flow for a seized-up machine. I've seen miracles from that stuff! Since I have started using that, my can of PB Blaster is getting dusty. And I haven't touched kerosene once.
