Rusty Chains

[ArgoSteve]

I let my Argo sit under a tarp all winter, some snow got in and has now rusted the chains, what is the best way to remove this rust? Thanks,
Steve

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it (You are talking a bit of "Surface Rust" right). Oil them up and take it for a ride. Have fun.

Has anyone used Fluid Film as part of their regular chain lubrication regeim? Here's a write up from their website. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has some experience with it preventing dirt build up on the Argo chain drives.

"

FLUID FILM penetrates to the inside of the chain, preventing wear and providing extended lubrication. Displacing any trapped water, it leaves a barrier of protection with sufficient body to resist fly off and water wash off. In dusty environments, FLUID FILM resists dirt buildup due to its slick, non-tacky consistency. FLUID FILM holds up under a wide degree of temperatures, resists high moisture and, because it won't freeze, prevents chain jam ups due to water frozen in chain links. FLUID FILM was documented as having extended locomotive drive chains in salt harvesting machinery by up to 300%
