What a great setup.

Title mentions Carette but doesn't look a Carette but a much more sophisticated setup that a tin toy.

 I have gotten nickel with grudge cleaner by socking in acetone than blasted with a garden hose.   City supplied water is at least 80# of pressure, just need to cover painted areas and
of course need to liberally apply oil.

Bigal, I know that the majority of the collectors have never seen in the flesh what a real large Carette looks like; maybe that's why you did not realize that Carette is more than just a Tin toy company. I am posting some photos of few Cast Iron engine driven models Carette made as well as a photo of the largest Carette vertical they made next to a Stuart V10 for size comparison. I am still working on that restoration, but for now South Philadelphia neighborhood watch takes priority after work.
