I just found a 901 side shift w/ short gears and quaffe !!!
It was sitting in the basement of a house that burnt. When I opened it the inside is coated with gear lube and looks fine. The plastic covers are cracked but not melted. But the outside of the case is covered with white corrosion. Just on the surface. (not deep like some of the mag wheels I've had) So how to clean ? I have a bag of walnut shells ..... |

Just clean off the grease (if any) and don't worry about the white oxidation. If you're going to make it beautiful, you really should take it apart so nothing gets into the gear mechanism. I wouldn't even shoot baking soda at an assembled transmission.
