[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 95664, member: 82"] It depends on how much rust is in it and where it is. If there are just spots, i'd wire wheel it, but if it's also in hard to get at places, you may need to blast it. I have a 763 that i have had for.... 8 or so years now that has a rusty chain case, but the frame is pretty good. My plan is to blast the chain case, but spot blast or wire wheel the rusty spots on the frame. If you go this route, you may need to build up the blasted spots to make it smooth again, if you want to go that far. Not sure how the blaster would push the rust into the steel, it could be the prep he used or had seen being used on other parts. [/QUOTE]
