WildmanC120 613 #1 Posted July 3, 2019 Are these WH wheel weights? Picked them up tonight on FB marketplace cheap. I guess it doesn't really matter the brand was just curious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,695 #3 Posted July 3, 2019 Looks like you need to set up an E-Tank to clean them up the easy way! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WildmanC120 613 #4 Posted July 3, 2019 Nice. I thought they were WH weights. I did well @ $50 for the pair. Not looking forward to clean up and paint though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,578 #5 Posted July 3, 2019 I bought a set last year that the guy had painted Yellow. I used a wire brush on a 4 1/2 grinder and cleaned them up and painted them black eric j 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get them sandblasted, no way would I spend hours to do them and still have a poor job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #12 Posted July 3, 2019 Find a good old 12 V battery charger that doesn’t shut off that is constant. The water solution should be washing soda mixed in with the water and plug it in again don’t let the piece to be cleaned touch the sacrificial metal . I hope this makes sense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a 55 gallon drum cut in half, with some scrap strapping and a brake rotor welded together for the anode. I suspend my parts with wire, wood, metal rod.... whatever keeps the anode and part from touching. I found that my 24v setting on my charger works much quicker (twice as fast?) as the 12v setting! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,799 #15 Posted July 3, 2019 Also, the anode should be arranged in a manner that is in a direct path of the part to be cleaned. Multiple anodes around the edges of the tub and one or two across the bottom would work great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,981 #18 Posted July 3, 2019 Do you just use a standard 10 amp battery charger, like the one I use on my car and tractor batteries, or do you need an industrial charger? Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,672 #19 Posted July 3, 2019 old simple is better no need for heavy duty. The new fancy chargers want to see some battery voltage before they will start charging. I use a Wards Riverside wonder how old it is.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
