So, life's busy - way too busy - and I'm trying to catch up with all the places around my farm that I've neglected for far too long. One of the problems that some of my equipment has is rust. The trailer met has some surface rust on it, particularly on the ramps and the chains that secure the ramps. Similarly, the bucket on my tractor and the top of my finish mower has a few rust spots.
Rust removal on the inside of the bucket is easy enough - typically shoveling up some gravel will clean that up pretty well, but the other parts of it aren't as easy.
I was considering taking a wire brush or a wire brush drill attachment to the rusty areas to remove any lose stuff and then using a product someone mentioned from Gempler's - Rust Converter Frequently Asked Questions | Gempler's - to convert the rust and then repaint the to a color that matches the existing paint - at least for the finish mower.
Has anyone used this before? I'm looking at their site's FAQ about the product but was looking for some independent info on it. Or if you've got a different idea about dealing with the rust, I'd really like to hear it.
Thanks much!
