Curious if these pumpkins are still usable or scrap..

Post by BRONX INTRUDER »

I have 3 pumpkins that've been sitting in my garage a while.. Are they trash now or still worth something with the rust on shafts?

The rust can be cleaned off with penetrating oil and a wire brush. As long as the splines and the angle drive are still good the unit should be good. The drive shaft on all rear wheel drive and 4 wheel drive vehicles over a couple of years old is rusty.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

As long as they are sealed and still have oil in them....what Herb said about the rust.

They should be OK.
