Trailer chains

Some of my trailer chains got wet in my storage bucket and are quite rusty..Any tips on cleaning and possibly oiling them, if oiling them is a prudent thing to do. CM

I have drug them behind a 4-wheeler in a grassy field, that really cleaned/shined them up. Just think how clean the front chains are on a bush hog after some mowing

Bingo, that gives me an excuse to pull the DC4 out of the shop. Did your plow set up Manuals show up yet?

Haven't seen them yet, but sometimes we won't get mail for a couple days. I'll post in the Case forum when they get here

Gravel roads work great too.

After you get them cleaned up by whatever means you decide. Drop them inside. Even on a cement floor is better than in a pail or other container that can hold water, or with a lid on tight condensation.

I'll bet that he had the bucket on his trailer. I coated mine with Iron phosphate. It lasted about five years. I used phosphoric acid from the foodservice store.
