Mike M, WD-40 is actually very effective in preventing rust. If you will go back and read the rest of my post instead of quitting at 40 you may understand. If not read on. You see Mike, almost all of our trucks are subject to not only moisture and salt but also DUST collecting in those places that end up rusting through. If there were no dust the moisture would quickly evaporate and rust would quickly stop and the factory protective coatings would last for many years. Since dust does accumulate it holds moisture and the protective coatings ultimately are penetrated. If you spray fluid film it will penetrate some of the mud but in many places it will not. Here is where the WD-40 comes in. As we all know WD-40 will penetrate and DISPLACE the moisture. The D of WD-40 stands for displacing. A generous spray of WD-40 will penetrate a lot of moisture filled mud, and then the fluid film or other oil can penetrate through the mud to the rusty metal. I have inspected some places here and there on my 12 year old Ford and found oil penetrated to the metal and no moisture. I actually prefer to use aerosol chain lube after the WD-40 because it comes out very thin, then sets up thick like grease. I allow the WD-40 24 hours to penetrate the moist mud.

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
