Evaporust is a product that replaces rust but leaves steel base metal unharmed. It ain't cheap, but really works well and is reusable several times.

Went out and bought a gallon of it. This stuff is amazing. I put some in a bucket and stuck some parts in there 4 hours ago and I am already seeing a huge difference. I saved hours and hours of sanding thanks to your suggestion. Thanks again for your input on this miracle liquid. I would buy you a beer if ya lived closer. Much appreciated. I am going to let them soak overnight. It gonna be like Christmas tomorrow morning.

I agree, it is amazing stuff. Cover the bucket while things are soaking, as the name suggests Evaporust is prone to evaporating.
As I only got the small bottle, it is a lot more expensive here in Canada. I have primarily used it for "wet sanding" in conjunction with a Scotchbrite pad. Wipe or wash it off after the part is clean or it can leave dark stains on the surface, and then coat with wax or oil to prevent flash rust.
I have also used it to free parts that were stuck together due to rust, just put a bit at the joint and let it wick in.

Not that it will affect the Greenie, but it also removes black oxide.

Well, woke up and found some rust free parts in my bucket. Awesome stuff. Soaking more now for tomorrow morning. I tore apart the motarhead and found the bearings and gears are in great condition. I need to order a new belt thiugh and found a crack in the base arm. Kinda bummed about that. So now this project is going to set me back in time a bit but it will be done correctly. Jpg and Rpd, thanks for your help Now I get to order parts.
To remove rust from bench or way tubes before polishing, use 3" pvc pipe, glue on one end cap,leave the other loose, put a tube in, fill with evapo-rust, let sit. Takes less evaporated this way.

Add glue a threaded coupling and plug to the 'loose' end. Eliminates evaporation.
However most 'loss' is from removing the tube and evaporust sticking to it.

Yours is a good way to plug the end, I chose to go cheaper and simply plugged the open end with another cap without glue, tap on tight and then knock it off when it is time to open.
