I was thinking of using the K-1 to clean the tranny on my old IH C even though I've changed the oil twice, bet the K-1 will work well. How long should I leave it in the tranny to clean the mud?
George
depends on what I'm working on.
fairly good oil, just dirty or milky, I add some kero-diesel to it, drive the
tractor til it's good and warm, then drain overnight.
I might then put the plugs in, add some kero, jack up the rear and turn the wheels for a bit, let soak and drain overnight again. I never drive them with just solvent in there.
long sitting ones like 2 AC's I'm working on now, drain the gallons of water and the bright red mud, put in kero-diesel and some thin oil like UTF or used strained motor oil. And do the turn the wheel thing over and over.
drain it out, pour it thru a strainer (I use an old threadbare towel) pour it back in, do it again.
last time, I block the clutch, high gear and really get that wheel spinning to sling that mix in there.
(also handy to build oil pressure with the clutch up and sparkplugs out.)
Takes days, but it's worth it.
I just do it while I'm working on getting an engine running, so no hurry.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
