Spring Rider Springs
The spring plates were burried about 2 to 3 inches under the soil, the springs were very rusty and the bolts have not been touched for about at least 40 years. I chose to leave the riders intact and simply refinish them as they sat. the metal was cleaned, sanded and finidhed with Rustoleum Heavy Rusted Metal Primer and finished with Rustoleum High Performance spray paint. The springs look close to new now.
