Their I was minding my own business with my heads still hurting from the night before and what do I see on Craigslist but a 2013 Hammer A3-31 with all the fix-in's spiral cutter-head, mobility, extension, dial the whole-she-bang! So though bleary eyed I roll out the bed and informed a very cranky wife we need rent a trailer and off we go. Been looking for one of these for 2 years + can't wait to get started just have to get rid of some minor surface rust and hit her with some paste wax and away we go.

$3k thought it was a good price.
I missed out on by like 3 hours getting a Felder AD741 that had a bad motor/switch that a cabinet shop was trying to get rid for $200 (yes as in two hundred dollars). So annoyed missed that one.

That's a very good price. For comparison, a fairly identical machine is for sale on the Denver CL for $4.8k.

Wow then I really did score! Knew it was a deal didn't realize it was quite that good.
Would like to clean up the rust on it anyone have a good method/product? Would like to do it without causing more problems down the line. Thanks!

Great job! Congrats! Great start on the year for you.
$200 741 would make me sick.

Lee Valley sells rust erasers that are very effective. The other thing you could do is use WD-40 and a scotch brite. You can also use the scotch brite with a ROS if need extra muscle. Make sure you use paste wax or something like slip it after your done.

Boeshield sells a great rust remover product for light rust that smells just like tarnex leading me to believe that would work great also.
