[Farmall] cleaning solvents

[Gary Hayes in Bouse, AZ]

I agree with Bob C....  You can't get the cleaners
that work like they used to. 

due to CRS I don't remember the class of solvents they
were, but the new stuff is no where near what the old
stuff was. My old 5 gal pail ate throught the bottom
and made a mess.

most "recomended" parts cleaners are water based
soaps.
Laquer thinner is low VOC and does not pack the punch
it once did.  I use oven cleaner to remove grease&
paint in one smelly step. Laquer thinner works on
grease, mineral spirits is the solvents for the metal
parts washer and the plastic parts sink uses the safe
stuff.
