I just cleaned the air cleaner cartridge on my John Deere B. I unbolted the cartridge from the air stack and soaked it for several days in a bucket of kerosene. The cartridge is full of crinkled, fine mesh hardware cloth, so it didn�t look like I could get much out of blowing it out or pressure washing. I would swirl it every time I walked past, and since it was taller than the bucket I would swap ends every day or so. I don�t know what is left in the middle, but the ends look clean and the kerosene is pretty dark. I used a cheap bottle brush to clean the gunk out of the central passage. I soaked the cast iron elbow that goes to the carburetor in a bucket of hot lye water (poor man�s hot tank), and the crud inside it survived six hours! Hot, soapy water and the bottle brush did the trick, though. By the way, not a scrap of paint survived the lye, which was the real purpose of the soak. Now all I have to do is get it painted, because the rust comes up almost the instant you pull it out of the water.
