[Farmall] Solvents

[Mike Sloane]

In addition to the other suggestions that have been made, you might try 
some of the common paint thinners you have around the place - 
turpentine, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, brush cleaner, MEK, etc. I 
also like the suggestion to take it to a radiator repair place and have 
them "boil" it out. Or you could buy a gallon of carburetor cleaner at 
the auto parts store (I have had good luck with NAPA brand, but I 
suspect they are all similar).

Except for taking it to the radiator shop, the other alternatives are 
all somewhat noxious and/or dangerous - work outdoors, and collect the 
residue to bring to your local hazardous waste disposal site.
