OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Reel-Type Mowers Vinegar to remove rust from reel ?

Hello Dave0, depending on how much time you have to spare, treating the rust with Molasses would probably be a safer option for the bearing surfaces. As to your question about the movement in the reel i cant help as Im a vintage greenfield guy but im sure one of the regulars like Bonnar-Bloke could help!
