I’ve used the Rustoleum rust converter. It’s readily available but not sure how well it actually works.

I remember people would use lemon or orange juice on rust. The juice right out of the lemon or orange. It will turn the rust black.
Now, I’m old and can’t remember well, :giggle: :giggle: , so I could be wrong. Do your research on that.

I picked up some rustoleum rust reformer that I can brush on. It also comes in a spray can. I also picked up some rustoleum reform and seal spray for the under side of the deck.Youtube channel "Project Farm" has a lot of good reviews including rust reformers.

Progress has been slow in the past week due to other time and energy consuming home projects. RM48 mule drive #1 was reassembled. RM48 mule drive #4 was rebuilt. RM48 mule drive #3 will be finished up tomorrow. The tensioner springs for mule drives 3, 4 & 5 (spare unit) are all stretched out and will get replaced.

RM48 deck #3 will get my relatively new set of spindles (pulleys) including the RM38 center drive. The mulching kit will go back in this deck. RM48 deck #4 will get RM48 deck #3's spindles (pulleys) since deck #4's spindles are quite rusty from being outside.

Hopefully on the list this weekend is getting the plow setup ready to sell + my weight box.
