Up here in N.Y. most the open gears i find are pretty rusted cause of our climate.I soak my mill's in a mixture of cleaning fluid,kerosene,and diesel fuel in a tub for a couple wks or more.than take it out and spray it down with p.b.blaster for another couple days and then the torch and that usually does it
