Home Made Track Cleaner

Postwarman,

I like re-purposing stuff as well. This is really well done. Maybe add another box and add a dry roller placed at the other end from the alcohol roller to pick up excess wetness?

Great design, thanks for sharing this,

John

Thanks John, I figured that I would give it a shot, the frame was shot anyway. I used an oscillating tool to cut the frame and she started to crumble. I probably should have used a dremel with a cutting wheel. I was hoping to keep as much of the fuel tank sides as possible, but that didn't happen. but it works. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

Good idea Jeff, nice execution too.

Good use of non-usable parts.

Now that's prototypical - using obsolete or otherwise generally unserviceable equipment for MOW duties.  This officially makes you a Hi-Railer, you know.

Bravo!  Well scrounged.

Got any pics?

Thanks guys, here are some close ups, not done with it yet...

Mine is a similar idea.  I have two cavities, one for the Wahl-soaked roller, the other for a weighted piece of 400 wet or dry sandpaper.  My rail is solid, so no danger of removing any plating or going through with the sand paper.  It works ok, but there is nothing like doing it by hand after several months of inactivity.

I like it!
