When I bought my used tractor w/BH, I looked very carefully for any sign that the shafts on the cylinders might be nicked or marred up, I saw nothing. Now that the BH has sat since January, I notice rust on the shaft and oil draining down out of the cylinder. It is for the BH stabilizers, so I don't consider it a must change out, but I would like to clean up the shafts to minimize any further damage to the seals. I assume that since the shafts are now rusting.. the only way to properly fix that is to change them. But I figured there might be a recommended way to clean up the shafts so they don't do any more damage until I can replace them. I was planning on taking 600 grit, or finer, wet/dry sand paper to them to clean up the rust... is there a better way??
