Hi Dennis,

Well with all that spinach you should have added zest and strength for the on-going tractor work now you are retired!  Strange how the conversation always turns to food on this site!!

The oil recipe I use is about 25% new 30s oil and about 75% diesel.  I simply spray it on with one of these pump up, hand operated garden sparyers which hold maybe quarter-half a gallon.  I do them twice a year and it certainly stops any deterioration and good clean rust as one gets one N American tractors certainly comes up nice.

take care, John
