    Parts which can rust are coated in a light wax usually.

    You could spray them with lanotec, or wrap them in an oily rag.

    Have a look in the loopier gun publications. They used to advertise devices for storing your "tractor axles" supposedely in case of an Asian invasion to stop the yellow hordes using your "tractors". They also used to advertise "bible boxes" to bury your "bibles" in case a Godless socialist government tried to confiscate "bibles".

    Just rub a smear of grease over the splines and spray the rest with Lanotec, wrap them in some oil dampened rags and store off the concrete, Regards Frank.

    This is basically how I store mine (only 2) and I just hang them (tie wire) under the mez floor. As Tank said, definitely off the concrete.

    Hi LRO, I've used a product from CRC called "Soft Seal" to protect parts of machinery for inter/national transportation, it leave's a nice thick film that is quite durable when it drys.

    Soft Seal from CRC

    Cheers,
