Old rusty OPE part
Original Message Jan 26, 2005 4:14 pm

I used to own an old Gravely walk-behind that I used for plowing snow and mowing (had a rotary as well as sicklebar). I sometimes regret selling it. Anyway, once when I was using the sicklebar a sicklebar part came off. I bought a new one. The old one reappeared last year while I was breaking new ground with the tiller. It's rusty and pitted, but still useable and I could probably sell it on eBay. I have a sandblaster which would be ideal, but hauling that out this time of year would be a pain. Are there any products that are good for removing rust that I could try?

Jonathan , Please don't use Naval Jelly. I shouldn't have suggested it because ERR was already on the table. I'm going spank myself for suggesting another method. Thanks, Walt

Again, DO NOT contemplate NAVAL JELLY! "NAVAL JELLY=BAD" It is caustic (unlike ERR which only gives off Hydrogen gas)
