My shop will likely be the same.

Because the Locust trees are full of thorns?  BIG thorns?  I have a  
couple here about an inch thick and 8 feet tall.  Unfortunately, they  
are likely to succumb to a burn I need to do at their feet in a ditch.

Is it mostly cement, or partly lubricant?  I remember the local garage  
used soapy water or some such in a small bucket near the tire  
changer.   Maybe it was not that at all but it did make bubbles where  
there was a leak.  They also had a Tungar battery charger.  I have one  
also and maybe it's ideal to use on my 6 volt McCormick!  Of course it  
would have to be overhauled first.

Maybe there is some solvent or the like you could add to the stuff.
