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 .....

The penetrating oil we currently use, "Gibbs Brand", works well for cleaning mag and conditioning the surface. A bit pricey, but a worthwhile investment, IMO. Google the name for sources. I would think a couple of cans would do the job.
