Has anyone tried using Sea Foam in their tractor? I would imagine with a lot of these reaching 50+ years old,and with low speed usage and low compression ratios,these engines would contain a ton of carbon buildup.Sea Foam is supposibly an all purpose engine cleaner (oil,fuel)that works well on carbon deposits.Anyone try it?

Funny this subject should come up. A couple of days ago, I added Sea Foam to my Super M before storing it in a friend's shed for the winter. With the tractor being my first one, I wondered if this was a good idea or not. I can tell you, however, that I've used Sea Foam in our Saturn a couple of times, and every time I have, it's run like a new car. Another friend of mine who KNOWS cars swears by it. Hope this helps.

been using it for years. have not put it in crankcase, i always put some in gas tank, especially late fall when putting away for winter. i put it in every gas engine i have. i put some in the tank, run it for awhile to make sure it gets thru to the carb, shut it off. come spring, they (tractors, mowers, tiller, transfer pump, weed-eater, etc) always start right up and run great all year. wouldn't be without it.

Paul, My shop could not run without Sea Foam and Deep Creep. This stuff is the only product that I call a tune up in a can that will actually do what the can says it will do. I put it in eveything I own. I use it in all my Farmalls, Cub cadet garden tractors, and my generators. They can sit all summer and usually start right up with no problems. I have had valves stuck in little small engines, taken out plug, squirted Sea Foam in plug hole, leave it for a couple of days, go back, ran fine, valve was freed up. Had a old engine had been sitting or years, no compression, rings were stuck, put sea foam in prime cups, went back to it a few days later, and rings were unstuck. Have taken carboned up engines, started, put Sea Foam in the intake and flooded it out, let it sit for a day, go back and start it, and it starts and blows carbon out of the muffler, sure cleans them up. Sorry about the rambling, but you will not go wrong using Sea Foam, I have used it for a long time and could not get along without it.

Supposibly it helps clean them,and allow vehicles to pass emissions tests.
