I got a Sears JC Higgins out of the alley recently that I want to restore. Based on serial number it is from 1953 from the Murray Ohio Factory. My question is about what to do with the rusted wheels. Options that I have been considering:
1) wire brush on my drill
2) Oxalic Acid Bath
3) would it be easier to use the hubs but relace them to new rims and spokes?
I am not experience with what to do when the chrome is badly pealing. Does all the chrome need to be removed?
Whats your all advice?
Thanks.
