    Cleaning a chain, what products to use???

    Oldest machine on farm, dead or alive.

    As said above, mine is 35x, new in 1963. So nearly 60 years old. And had a km22 from the 80s, it went in the scrap last year.

    Red diesel delivery .

    Don't wish to be alarmist but the gap between ordering Red Diesel and actual delivery is widening (and the price has increased just for good measure. ) Think ahead if you are needing to top up your tanks. I ordered today and was told it COULD be up to 4 weeks before I got it.
