I suspect it may just be how humid it is this close to the coast, but it’d also be nice if Dillon started using stainless steel parts. Finding 1/4-28 stainless steel socket head screws is gonna be a bitch local fastenall has all the sh$t you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George16 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Ace Hardware have the stainless steel screws too. In fact, they even have the shoulder bolts for my 1100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going at the platform with a brass brush and a drill/dremel, and then some kind of rust reformer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked great on the top surface of a table saw that was ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67isb Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) spray lanolin/alcohol mix on the black oxide nuts/bolts/hex head screws. I'd avoid stainless steel screws. More chance of galling the threads with stainless steel. Edited May 24, 2022 by 67isb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversneaker Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 dehumidifier is the way to go, I had a friend get his new 650 starting to rust and installed a dehumidifier and the rust stopped. I have been loading since the 90,s with one and no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I lube the typical moving parts (zerk fittings, ram shaft, etc). But I'm getting rust in static places that I did not typically lube. So I coated the entire thing in grease and threw a dehumidier in the garage - though I doubt the dehumidifer can keep up with a 2 car garage that's sealed about as well as as screen door.
