caterpillar twenty pull grader

Here in the UK I have seen old machines sprayed with thin hydraulic oil to preserve them and 'hold' the rust.
I also think that the petroleum product used to paint plough bodies to stop them rusting, which quickly sets to a non tacky, non oily finish would be good also, I don't know the name of it though.
That's a very nice looking grader.

Man that’s neat!! I wonder if linseed oil would do what your wanting?

Good score!!

BP.

nice find Scott love the patina

great piece Scott!

We have a product sold here called Penetrol. A clear coat type of rusy metal preservative that soaks right in.
If I remember I will post a photo of the tin tomorrow.
I am sure it would be available in other parts of the world.

At the last show in Pennsylvania, there was a well preserved IH wheel tractor. I asked what was used, it was penetrol. Paint on multi coats until you are satisfied. Haven't tried it yet,
